Crockpot French Dip
Discover the ultimate Crockpot French Dip recipe! Tender beef, flavorful au jus, and simple ingredients for a cozy dinner!
Hi friends!
I’ve got a new slow cooker recipe to share with you. My husband loves to order a French dip when we’re out to dinner but it wasn’t something I’d ever tried to make at home until recently.
Turns out it couldn’t be any easier and it was a big hit with my husband so I wanted to share in case there are any other French dip lovers out there!

Best Crockpot French Dip Ingredients
To make this easy recipe, you just need a few basic ingredients. Here are a few of them:
- Rump roast – You can also use chuck roast if you prefer.
- Worcestershire sauce – A flavorful liquid used to deglaze the pan and get all the flavorful brown bits which deepens the flavor of the sauce.
- Garlic and onion – The thinly sliced onions mix well with the shredded beef and add great flavor to the sandwiches.
- Beef Broth – The base of the dipping sauce
- Provolone cheese- This is my favorite cheese for this sandwich but feel free to use whatever your favorite is
How To Make French Dip in Crockpot
To make crockpot French dip sandwiches:
- Season and sear the roast.
- Deglaze the pan and saute the onions.
- Transfer the roast and onions to the crockpot.
- Add beef broth and spices and cook 8-10 hours.
- Shred the beef.
- Reduce the liquid to make a dipping sauce.
- Place on buns, top with cheese and broil until cheese is melty.
- Serve with dipping sauce.
Crockpot French Dip Chuck Roast
If you can’t find rump roast, chuck roast is a great option for this recipe as well. Rump roast tends to be a bit more expensive and more tender which chuck roast is from the shoulder area. Chuck roast is slightly fattier but both are good options for this sandwich.

Slow Cooker French Dip Sliders
This recipe would be perfect for a party! Instead of making large sandwiches, serve on slider buns for an easy, finger food meal alongside small amounts of the aus jus in ramekins.

Crockpot French Dip FAQs
What to serve with crockpot French dip sandwiches?
These sandwiches pair well with a side of vegetables. Keep it easy with Steamfresh veggies, or toss some green beans or broccoli in the oven to roast while the sauce is reducing. You could also serve with a side salad and some fresh fruit.
They would also be great with a side of roasted sweet potatoes
How to store crockpot French dip beef?
Store the shredded meat in a glass container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat in the microwave or under the broiler.
How to freeze this slow cooker French dip beef?
Portion shredded beef into 1 or 2 cup servings and freeze once cooled. Freeze the dipping sauce in a separate container. For individual sauce portions, try freezing in muffin tins into broth cubes and defrost as needed.
Can I make instant pot French dip sandwiches?
I haven’t tried it myself but it should work. Follow the above directions but when ready to cook, put everything in the pressure cooker and cook for about 90 minutes. Let pressure release naturally and then shred. Cooking time for the instant pot will depend on the weight of your roast and the thickness so if it doesn’t shred easily with two forks, it needs to be cooked longer.
Here are a few other recipes: Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches or Instant Pot French Dip.
What is the best cheese for French dip?
Provolone is the most commonly used cheese. Its smokey flavor pairs well with the beef and onions. If you can’t find provolone, you could try fresh mozzarella or swiss cheese as well.
What to do with leftover French dip beef?
Try repurposing your leftover beef into something new like:
Enjoy!
