Crock Pot French Dip
1 (3-4 lb) beef roast
1/2 c. soy sauce
1 beef bouillon cube
3-4 whole peppercorns
1 tsp crushed dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 tsp garlic powder
Place roast in crockpot. Combine the soy sauce, bouillon, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf and garlic in a bowl; mix well. Pour over the roast and cook on low for 8 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf. Serve meat sliced on a roll with the broth for dipping. Serves 10.
Why Slow Cook?
Another great reason to use a slow cooker is for economical reasons. Basically the slow cooker works by simmering food at a constant, low temperature which enhances the flavor and texture of some ingredients. Slow cooking tenderizes less expensive cuts of meat such as beef brisket, stewing beef and portk, pork shoulder roasts and chops. The lengthy cooking time tenderizes these tougher cuts of meat and allows the flavors to blend resulting in delicious meals.
