Notes

  • You can use a tougher cut of beef since we are slow cooking it. It will come out tender!
  • For a lower-sodium option, skip the au jus packets and swap out the Italian dressing mix for a salt-free Italian seasoning.
Storage: Store crockpot French dip sandwich meat and au jus in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Assemble the sandwiches just prior to reheating.
