Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Wooden Spoon
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 3 lb tri-tip This cut of meat doesn’t have a ton of fat and works perfectly for the Au Jus
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 tablespoon better than bouillon beef base or 2 beef bouillon cubes
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chives we used freeze dried that are kept in the fridge since we didn’t have fresh on hand
- 1/2 medium yellow onion sliced
Instructions
- Turn your slow cooker to low.
- Add all of your ingredients (except the meat) and stir well.
- Place your meat in your slow cooker and cover.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat falls apart when shredding with 2 forks.
- Shred the meat and then place it back in the slow cooker and continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes so the flavor gets into all of the shredded meat.
- Drain the liquid off of the meat and serve it (in little bowls) with your french dip sandwiches!
Notes
- Tip: My inspiration and adaptation for this sandwich came from a recipe for Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches that Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil posted.
