Servings

Ingredients

3-4 fresh ground black pepper
1 dill pickle
1 onion
1 garlic clove
8 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1-2 red onions
Hamburger buns (amount as desired)
Barbecue sauce (to taste)
Mustard (to taste)
Mayonnaise (to taste)

Instructions

Rub the Roast: Begin by rubbing the roast generously with fresh ground black pepper. This step ensures that the meat is well-seasoned and flavorful.
Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned roast into your slow cooker.
Add Pickles and Brine: Next, add the whole dill pickles and their brine to the slow cooker. This will infuse the meat with a tangy and unique flavor.
Onion and Garlic: Cut the onion into wedges and peel the garlic cloves. Add these to the slow cooker along with the Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed.
Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook the mixture on low heat for 8 to 9 hours. The slow cooking process will tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Shred the Meat: Once the meat is tender and cooked through, remove it from the slow cooker. Let it cool slightly so you can handle it safely, then shred the meat, discarding any excess fat.
Strain and Reserve Liquid: Strain out and discard the solids from the slow cooker, reserving the flavorful liquid.
Return Meat to Sauce: Return the shredded meat to the reserved sauce in the slow cooker. Heat it through to ensure the meat is thoroughly coated with the delicious sauce.
Prepare the Buns: Using a slotted spoon, fill each hamburger bun with about 1/2 cup of the meat mixture. This helps to drain any excess liquid, ensuring your sandwiches aren’t soggy.
Add Onion Slices: Top each sandwich with a slice of red onion. The sharpness of the red onion adds a nice contrast to the rich meat.
Serve with Pickles and Condiments: Serve your sandwiches with additional dill pickles and condiments like barbecue sauce, mustard, and mayonnaise as desired. However, these sandwiches are so flavorful they don’t need much in the way of condiments. A bite of cold dill pickle with each bite of the sandwich really tastes good.

Tips for Perfect Dilly Beef Sandwiches

Quality of Beef: Use a good quality roast beef to ensure the best texture and flavor. Cuts like chuck roast work well for slow cooking.
Pickle Brine: Don’t skimp on the pickle brine. This is what gives the beef its unique tangy flavor that makes these sandwiches stand out.
Slow Cooking: Patience is key. Cooking the beef low and slow allows it to become tender and absorb all the wonderful flavors.
Onion and Garlic: Adjust the amount of onion and garlic to your taste. If you love garlic, feel free to add an extra clove or two.
Serving: These sandwiches are great on their own, but you can serve them with a side of coleslaw or potato salad for a complete meal.
Leftovers: If you have leftovers, the meat mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat it gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Pairing Suggestions

Beverages: A cold beer or a crisp, dry white wine pairs wonderfully with these sandwiches.
Sides: Serve with classic sides like coleslaw, potato chips, or a simple green salad.

Fun Variations

Spicy Kick: Add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture for a spicy version.
Cheesy Delight: Melt some provolone or cheddar cheese on top of the meat before adding the bun for a cheesy twist.
Bacon Lover’s Dream: Add some crispy bacon strips to the sandwiches for an extra layer of flavor.
