French Onion Dip Sandwiches III
This is another way to make French Dip sandwiches preparing the meat in a slow cooker with condensed soup. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 kilos beef, any cut
- olive oil, as needed
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cans condensed French onion soup, OR make from a shortcut
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
- 8 sandwich rolls, split
- 8 salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the beef with salt and black pepper. Heat a splash of olive oil large non stick skillet over high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides. Place the beef in your slow cooker slow cooker.
- Add the onion, garlic, thyme sprigs and soup to the cooker. Cover and cook on High setting for 4 1/2 hours or until the beef is tender. NOTE about the beef, if using local raised beef from a village, you may want to cook for longer, check it at 4 1/2 hours then keep cooking and checking every hour after that.
- When the beef is almost done, heat the oven to 180 C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the rolls, cut-side up, onto the baking sheet. Divide the cheese among the rolls. Bake for 1 minute or until the rolls are toasted and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the beef to a cutting board. Cut the beef into thin slices. Divide the beef among the rolls. Serve with the soup mixture from the slow cooker on the side for dipping.
Notes
Beef will run about 200 Baht for local raised beef, figure 300 Baht for the beef. For 8 servings, this is about $1.10 per serving, actually not that bad at all. I cannot price this with the cheese yet.
