Notes
Storage: After cooking, allow the French dip filling to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing the beef mixture in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Be sure to separate the liquid from the meat to prevent freezer burn.
Reheating: To reheat, thaw the frozen beef mixture in the refrigerator overnight. Heat it in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of beef broth if it appears dry. You can also reheat portions in the microwave, covered, in 30-second intervals until hot.
Serving: Serve the French dip sandwiches by placing a portion of the shredded beef and onions onto a crispy roll. If desired, top with slices of provolone cheese and broil briefly until the cheese melts. Accompany with small bowls of the beef broth for dipping.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the crockpot along with the broth mixture. This enhances the aroma and taste of the dish. Additionally, to keep the rolls crispy, toast them lightly in the oven before serving.
