I made this for my beer-hating family and we all loved it! (just to tell anyone who might be scared off by the beer… it doesn’t taste like beer, it just adds a great complex flavor to the broth!)

This is a fantastic recipe! I only had light beer at home and it worked just fine. Will try again with a darker brew. The beef was very tender and easy to slice. I served it on toasted sub rolls with melted provolone cheese and horseradish mayo. Yummy!

This is my first food review and I felt this recipe required my response. Wow – was it good!! I was a little unsure of the beer (we don’t drink alcohol) but I got a bottle from a friend and I’m glad I tried it. I’ve never had broth give that kind of flavor! I also used toasted onion sub rolls and provolone and plenty of that wonderful au jus! My husband and I both really loved and my kids ate it too! Definitely a keeper!!!

I too have used this several times and it is always a huge hit with the family. It’s definitely one of my go-to recipes. Planning on making it again tomorrow so that I don’t have to use the oven. Thanks for the recipe!

My family and guests I had over loved this! They said it was like something they would get at a restaurant! 
Will make this more!

This just became a family favorite! Everyone wanted seconds, and there was plenty. I’ve tried other french dip recipes and they were always good, but this is far beyond good! Served it on croissants with provolone, and ceasar salad on the side. Yum!

I agree with “mudlark”….a new family favorite! So easy. So good. Everyone from aged 7 to 64 enjoyed this slow cooked dish. I used it with a 4 lb. roast. Thanks for sharing!

This was amazing good. Would be such an easy meal for a big group like super bowl party. It suits everyone, it’s a man’s meal without being too heavy or greasy for us ladies! It is on my forever faves list!

Just made this for dinner tonight. The flavor was delicious, and the smell made my mouth water the second I walked in the front door.
I only had one problem, and that was more with my slow cooker than with the recipe. I set it on low, and left it for 8.5 hours. After 8 hours, the cooker automatically switched to the warm function. When I got home, there was only a few tablespoons of liquid left in the bottom, and the meat had gotten crusty on the bottom side. Again, not the problem of the recipe. My slow cooker just runs really, really hot. I added three cups of beef stock and really enjoyed the meal anyway.
My suggestion is if you know your slow cooker runs hot, to double the liquid/soup mix part of the recipe.

Mine cooked for about 10 hours on low and there was still plenty of liquid, but it didn’t want to shred. Instead I just sliced it thinly and it was better than Arby’s. So, so, so good. I have a couple other tried and true french dip recipes but those are getting thrown out of the rotation and replaced with this. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe.

I’ve been using a similar recipe that my family really loves. The only difference is I use a can of condensed French Onion soup instead of the packaged onion soup mix and bullion cubes. I add a couple of tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and a couple teaspoons garlic powder.

I’ve visited this site several times before and have used recipes from it. I registered today just to be able to leave a review for this recipe because it was SO good!
Simple and so few ingredients and yet yielded a fabulous French Dip sandwich. I slathered the french rolls with mayo, a bit of horse radish, and spicy mustard. Next I added provolone cheese and then the beef. I microwaved the sandwiches just long enough to melt the cheese – - awesome! This is a definite keeper!

This is SOOO good! My toddler ate FOUR (toddler-sized) servings! I have emailed this recipe to pretty much every cook I know. I wouldn’t change a single aspect of the recipe. I love that once the leftovers were chilled, I could scoop off all the fat and have leaner leftovers. I enjoyed the leftovers over cornbread stuffing.

This was so easy and yummy. My kids loved it too!

I made this last night, & it was amazing! Very easy to throw together. My husband woke up this morning asking for the leftovers for lunch right away!
