Easy Pulled Beef Sandwich Recipe

Love a great french dip? I am with ya on that! But roast beef is so pricey and I must admit that I don’t love the pre-sliced stuff too much, so I set out to make my own pulled beef sandwich and I nailed it (so happy and so delicious!).

The best part is that this is a pulled beef slow cook recipe, too so it’s easy as pie… but pie is not easy to make, so I digress.  😉 And, another awesome part of this meal is that the juice that you get from cooking your meat in the slow cooker can be used as your dipping sauce (like an aus) to go along with your beef sandwich. You’ll need a crock pot. For the recipe that I made, I used a 1 1/2 quart crockpot like this one. I use this size all of the time for cooking, it’s a necessary size to have in any kitchen.
Let my mouthwatering begin now…. First, you’re going to make your marinade. Seriously crazy marinade, but it’s awesome!

Pulled Beef with Coke

So, technically I guess you could say that this is one of the pulled beef with Coke recipes since there’s Coca-Cola in it. But, the way it works its magic is nuts, seriously, so good and so simple.   Next, set your crock pot on low and let it work it’s magic… When your beef has finished cooking in the crock pot, pull it with two forks. You can also transfer it to another bowl with about 1/4 cup of the juice and shred with a handmixer like this one.

Next, simply pile your beef onto your French Bread, or whichever kind of bread you choose. You can also butter and toast your bread on a frying pan or in the oven, but I was seriously starving and this smelled so awesome that I couldn’t wait to eat it so I had to snap a pic and dive in… sad, but true. FYI, my friends over at It’s Always Autumn have a recipe for Homemade French Bread for Pulled Beef Sandwiches that you can try if you’re feeling overzealous.
