What Makes a French Dip a French Dip?

French dip was rumored to start in Los Angeles at Philippe the Original around 1908. The sandwich is made of thinly sliced roast beef on a French roll that is then dunked in au jus, which is a delicious gravy made from the meat’s drippings. It’s different than most sandwiches because it’s not meant to be eaten by itself, it’s only meant to be eaten with the au jus.

Why Use a Slow Cooker?

So, now that we know what a French dip is, let’s talk about why we’re using a slow cooker for this recipe. A slow cooker is a perfect way to cook the roast beef for this sandwich because it results in incredibly tender and flavorful meat. Additionally, using a slow cooker keeps the au jus warm and ready to go whenever you’re ready to assemble your sandwiches. Plus it’s one of the easiest ways to cook if you have some time to spare. Now that you have all the info, let’s learn how to make French dip sandwiches.
