Few sandwiches are as satisfying as a classic French dip--but when you start with a perfectly cooked sous vide chuck roast, it reaches a whole new level. Slow-cooked until fork-tender, then thinly sliced and piled onto crusty bread with melted cheese and a rich, savory au jus (straight from the bag), this recipe delivers incredible flavor in every bite. It's comfort food at its finest, whether you're feeding a crowd or treating yourself to an unforgettable sandwich.

Cooking Instructions for Chuck Roast French Dip

For the Chuck Roast

Season the chuck roast with salt, about 1% by weight

Bag the chuck with the rosemary

Vacuum seal the chuck and cook it at 131F for 36 hours

To Finish

Remove the chuck roast from the bag and reserve the jus.

Dry the roast well. Season with your favorite rub (remember we salted it earlier)

Sear over medium-high heat to get a nice crust

After searing, set the roast aside and lower your heat to toast the bread.

Once the pan has cooled a bit, add the garlic better to the pan.

Once it's almost melted, add the bread. Toast on each side to your desired toastiness.

Meanwhile, taste the jus from the bag and season as needed with more of the rub.

Slice the meat to your desired thickness (we like it thin)

Once the bread is almost finished toasting, add the sliced meat and cheese.

Cover or use a torch to help the cheese melt

Once melted, add the top bread, slice and serve with the prepared jus.
