Sandra, over at Diary of a SAHM mom, sponsors this each week. Be sure to go over and check out Sandra’s lovely blog, and also check out this week’s entries… everyone has been posting lots of yummy sounding recipes lately! Click here for this week’s entries.
This week, I’m going to post an oldie but a goodie. I don’t make this very often, since I try to limit our intake of red meat. But, my husband dearly loves this roast. I’ve done roasts many ways, but this is by far our favorite. I also make some homemade buns to serve this on (recipe here) – be sure to check out the recipe for the hamburger buns if you have a bread machine. It could not be easier!
French Dip (Beef Au Jus)
Ingredients
1 – 3 pound eye or rump roast — see notes
1 package dry au jus gravy mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper (1/4 to 1/2)
Directions
Place roast in slow cooker. Prepare gravy according to package directions and pour over roast.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in.
Cover and cook on low 6 hours. After 6 hours remove meat and trim fat. Shred meat and return to slow cooker, cooking until desired tenderness. Add more water if roast is not covered with liquid when returning to cooker.
Stacy’s Notes: Made this Feb 2003. A definite keeper, it was delicious and very easy. I had a 2.5 lb sirloin tip roast in the freezer, so I used that. I sprinkled on liberal amounts of garlic & onion powders, salt and pepper and didn’t measure. Shredded meat and returned to mixture for about 1/2 hour to heat through. I didn’t have to add any extra liquid. Served this with homemade wheat hamburger buns.

Have you tried a chuck roast cut with this recipe? I guess I would try a sirloin tip one maybe….might have to pass it on to Liz!
Oh YUMMM….French Dip is just delicious, will have to give this one a try too…so far I think I have my menus planned for the next 2 months, just with all the recipes you ladies have been sharing 🙂
Oh and I have to tell you, I LOVE the picture of your thursday thirteen post, reminds me of my pugs 🙂
Have a great day,

This sounds really good. I don bbq beef in the crockpot, but haven’t tried making French Dip! I like the wheat buns too, for making it a bit healthier!
I’ve always wanted to try French Dip, I love to order it when I’m out but have never tried it at home. Now I have an excuse to try it!
Thanks for the recipe!
