Au Jus Sandwich

Ingredients

• •3 tablespoons flour
• •2–3 pounds (0.91–1.4 kg) roast or other cut of beef
• •1 beef bouillon cube
• •1 can (~2 cups / 16 oz / 470 ml ) beef consommé , bouillon cube equivalent, or additional roast beef
• •1 can (~2 cups / 16 oz / 470 ml ) French onion soup
• •1 cup (2 sticks / 250 g / 8.8 oz) butter
• •1 can (16 oz / 470 ml) beer (optional)
• •Spices (e.g. salt, pepper) (optional)
• •4 French/sandwich/hoagie rolls

Instructions

1. 1Combine all the ingredients except the rolls in a slow cooker or crock pot . Let the mixture simmer for at least six hours. This step is critical because it makes the meat tender.
2. 2Serve beef on split rolls.
3. 3You can either pre-dip the sandwich, or serve with a bowl of meat drippings. When serving the drippings separately, remove the beef shreds from the juices and serve with a small bowl of meat drippings on the side. Dip the sandwiches in the drippings as you eat.
