My New Year’s resolution this year is to eat out less. We love to cook, but with working full time.
It’s hard to want to cook anything when I start thinking about the dishes and the cleanup. So, what we are going to do is do recipes during the week that are less mess!
This was the one I chose to kick off the New Year. Matt loves a good French Dip sandwich and so do I.

Directions
- Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan at medium-high heat and the beef so that it is brown on all edges. Put the beef in the crockpot and add the onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and broth.
- Place the roast in the slow cooker and turn the slow cooker to its lowest setting. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until the meat begins to fall apart with the pull of a fork.
- Remove the meat from the slow cooker and slice the beef into 1/4- inch slices or shred it, depending on your preference. Ladle off the fat from the top of the jus and discard.
- Reserve the jus from the pot. Slather both sides of the French bread
with the cheese and then I broiled the bread so the cheese was melted and the bread toasted. Top with some of the beef and the onions from the pot. Serve with a side bowl of the jus.
