Crock Pot French Dips

crock pot french dipsIngredients

Rump Roast (any size you want–I always buy bigger to get a few nights worth of meals)

Salt

Pepper

Olive Oil

1/2 c. soy sauce

2 packets powdered beef stock

Thyme

3-5 cloves crushed garlic

1-2 Bay Leaves

1-2 T Worcestershire Sauce

 

crock pot french dips 1Directions

Sprinkle both sides of the rump roast with salt and pepper.

Heat 1-2 T. of olive oil in a skillet on the stove over medium high heat.

Sear both sides of the roast to get it nice and brown. (About 3-5 minutes per side)

Add the seared meat to the crock pot and throw in a palmful of thyme, 3-5 cloves of crushed garlic, and a couple of bay leaves.  Next, sprinkle in the powdered beef stock.  Add the 1/2 cup of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.  Then add enough water to the pot to completely cover the meat.  Cook on low 7-8 hours.

Come home from work and shred the beef.  Toast hoagie buns and a slice of swiss cheese in the oven until the cheese is melted.  Add the shredded beef and use the juice in the crock pot for dipping!

 

*Part of the reason I like to make this so much is because there are many different ways you can use condiments to total change the flavor.  Add sautéed peppers and onions or (my fave) pickled jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, and wilted spinach.

  2. Even though ovens are genuinely functional in the home,
    many of these may be found in large styles.

    Freestanding oven ranges are very functional, but expect your kitchen to be a little crowded after
    purchasing one for your home. It takes a toll on the overall appearance
    of your not-so-big house, though you sure can enjoy amazing recipes.
    Flat-residents will surely have got a attempting time determining where you should
    placement their huge stove.

    If you have concerns about space, you need a better option for an oven. An electric
    wall surface oven permits you to prepare the equivalent amount of menu without having eating up an enormous place in your kitchen area.
    Since you only need to do the installation about the wall structure, this foliage you
    with plenty floor space for greater freedom in your house.
    You will enjoy the numerous characteristics that this type of
    cooker has, and yet produce much more room for the cooking
    area.
