Recipe type: Sandwiches
Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 3 lb. bottom round rump roast
  • 2 tablespoons butter, plus more for spreading on bread
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-2 cup beef broth, plus more if needed*
  • 12 slices gluten free sandwich bread or French style rolls
  • 6 slices your choice cheese (brie, Havarti, Swiss, provolone, etc.)
Directions
  1. Generously salt and pepper all sides of roast, rubbing in and massaging with fingers. Set aside for 30 minutes. In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter on medium high heat. Sear all sides of roast in saucepan for 1-2 minutes or until brown crust appears.
  2. Place roast in crockpot, fat layer down, and sprinkle with about ¼ teaspoon garlic powder. Sprinkle brown sugar over top. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over roast and pour beef broth over the top. Cook on low for 6-7 hours. Remove from crockpot and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
  3. While roast is sitting, pour the liquid from the crockpot into a gravy separator to remove fat.** Return liquid to crockpot. After meat has sat, remove fat from bottom of roast. Cut into thin slices and return to crockpot. Let sit on warm setting for 30 minutes.
  4. Warm bread by broiling in the oven or setting on a grill pan with a little butter. Add cheese to half or the slices of bread (unbuttered side), place warm meat on top of cheese, and close sandwiches with remaining pieces of bread, buttered sides up. Serve warm with au jus from crockpot for dipping.*
Notes
*If you need more au jus, just add more beef broth to the juice in the crockpot. Salt and pepper to taste.
**If you do not have a gravy separator, just skim the top of the au jus with a spoon to remove top layer of fat.
