Shredded Beef French Dip Sandwiches

The French Dip sandwich is my absolute favorite of the sandwiches, and it's never better than when made with a slow-braised chuck roast, dipped in the braising jus. Simple, but so delicious.

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 325 degrees. Heat a cast iron pot on the stove on medium. Season the chuck roast evenly on all sides with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add the tallow to the pot and, once melted and shimmering, add the roast and sear on the top and bottom.
  • While the roast sears, assemble your aromatics packet by wrapping the aromatics ingredients in cheesecloth and tying tight. Add to the pot with the chuck roast, then the stock.
  • Cover and place the pot in the oven for 3-3 1/2 hours, until the beef is tender. While it cooks, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
  • Once the beef is cooked, remove from the liquid, shred it and place some on each bun/tortilla. Top with some of the sauce and some chives. Serve with a cup of the cooking jus.
