Beef Sandwich Spread

I have a stack of recipes to share with you guys but instead of choosing from that stack I decided to post the most recent new thing I have made because it was amazing!  This is pretty much the same thing as a Tuna Salad Sandwich but with beef.  And you can make it with leftover steak (that's what we did) or leftover roast.  Maybe you have ate it or heard of it but I'm 24 and my husband is 26 and neither of us ever had so I thought it deserved a post ASAP! 

*I'm not really going to put exact measurements because it all depends on how much beef you have and what you like but just imagine your making Tuna Salad. 

Beef Sandwich Spread
Steak or Roast, grind up in the food processor
boiled eggs
pickles
onion
mayo
sweet pickle relish
white vinegar
salt
pepper

Chop everything up and throw it together, mix & spread on bread!  As easy as that!

Crock Pot French Dip

Growing up one of my favorite things my Mom made was Au Jus sandwiches, she didn't make them much but when she did it was a big treat for me.  And I think when I was 17 or 18 I discovered Quizno's french dip type sub and I fell in love.  I used to eat one of those all the time, still when I go to Quizno's that is one of my top choices.  I always see those Au Jus packages and I don't know why I haven't ever made it before now but when I ran across this recipe I had to try it.  It was really good.  Lee just ate it as a sandwich without dipping it in the juice but I dipped it and it tasted really good. 

Crock Pot French Dip
1 2.5-3 lb. beef roast (you can use a frozen roast if you want)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper
2 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix
2 c. water
2 cans beef broth
6-8 large buns
Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced.

Heat the oil up in a skillet.  Salt and pepper the roast and sear all sides of the roast.  (your not cooking the meat you are just browning it to lock in the flavor)

Place roast in the crock pot and pour the soup mix, water, and broth into the crock pot and cook for 8-10 hours on low. 

When done shred the meat and place on your buns and top with your cheese.  You can stick in the oven and broil for a minute.

Cheesesteak Sub

I'm not sure if this deserves a post or not, it's not really a recipe it's more of things I threw together and I don't even have exact measurements on all of it but this is really one of those that is measured by taste not a measuring spoon.  This was really delicious...I was inspired to try to make this from listening to the TV when Lee was watching one of those shows on the Food network about Philly Cheesesteaks.  They looked so good and even though I doubt this is anywhere close to being as good as them it's still pretty darn good!  Oh and the plus side it's quick!

Cheesesteak Sub
*This makes about 3 subs.

2lbs-steaks of your choice
subs, rolls, or whatever your choice of bread is
3 garlic cloves, minced
oregano
3 Tbsp.-A1 Steak Sauce
2 Tbsp.-Worcestershire Sauce
liquid smoke
salt & pepper
Cheese, I would suggest provolone or cheez whiz

Cut the steak in really thin strips and place in a skillet.  Mix the sauces and garlic with the steak.  Shake as much salt, pepper, and oregano as you choose.  I didn't put a whole lot of oregano, just a few shakes, but I did put quite a bit of salt and pepper.  Then add just a little splash of liquid smoke.  You could probably leave that out but I just love the flavor it adds so I wouldn't.  Cook until the meat is done.  Then place the meat and cheese on bread and if you want any other kind of topping add that as well...and there you go...a quick delicious Cheesesteak sub.
