Ingredients
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 to 4 pounds bottom round beef roast
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
-
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Begin by placing the sliced onion evenly on the bottom of your slow cooker. This will create a flavorful bed for the beef roast to rest on during cooking.
-
Add the Roast: Gently place the bottom round beef roast on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Make sure the roast is well-positioned to absorb the flavors from the onions and the cooking liquid.
-
Mix Wine and Broth: In a medium bowl, combine the dry white wine with the beef broth. Stir well to ensure the mixture is uniform.
-
Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the wine and broth mixture over the roast in the slow cooker. This will infuse the meat with a rich, savory flavor as it cooks.
-
Add Water: Add enough water to the slow cooker to cover the roast completely. This helps in creating a flavorful broth that will enhance the taste of the meat.
-
Cook the Roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Set the cooker to high and let it cook for 5 to 6 hours, or on low for 10 to 12 hours. The roast should become tender and easy to shred.
-
Remove and Slice: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it thinly across the grain. This will help in achieving tender slices.
-
Serving Suggestion: For a classic French dip experience, serve the sliced roast on buttered and toasted hoagie (submarine) rolls. Top with a slice of Swiss cheese if desired. The roast will be flavorful and tender, perfect for dipping into the delicious broth from the slow cooker.
Note
You might find that the roast becomes so tender that it shreds rather than slices. This is perfectly fine and can add to the flavor and texture of your French dip sandwiches. Enjoy the tender, flavorful meat on toasted rolls with a side of the savory broth for dipping.
