Best Slow Cooker French Pot Roast Recipes

CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
• Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
• Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
• Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
• Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
• Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
• Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.

FRENCH POT ROAST IN SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• 1. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the hot oil a deep skillet (or in the Cuisinart 3-in-1 4-Quart Cooker-I set mine at 375° when browning). Transfer the meat to a plate.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium. If the pan is dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrot; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes; add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add the wine, beef broth, Balsamic vinegar, and herbes de Provence. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. (If doing this step on the stovetop, pour the liquid into the cooker at this point.).
• 3. Place the browned meat in the cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours OR on high for 5 hours or until the meat is tender.
• 4. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Set the cooker on 375° (or transfer the cooking liquids to a clean saucepan). Work the butter into the flour to form a paste (a beurre manié). Bring the liquid to boil; whisk in the beurre manié bit by bit until sauce is as thick as you like. Serve sauce with meat.
