Au Jus Sandwich

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons flour
• 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

Steps

1. 1

   Combine 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. 2

   Serve beef on split rolls.

3. 3

   You 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.
