The Beef Experiment: French Dip a.k.a. Au jus

Every Monday night Erin and I have 'date night'. It is the night we claim for ourselves to do whatever we want together. Some nights this is watch movies, other nights we go out to eat, well for tonight it was making dinner at home, and tonight's main course, french dip.

Erin slaved over a hot crock pot for many hours to come up with this dish. You can see the initial steps to the process here.

Then rising early in the morning with me, erin took care of setting our little roast (which we got in the discount meat section of Fredmeyer, yay for cheap meat) along with the collection of spices into the pot.

After a whole day of work, the dish was ready. Oh the scent of the dish when I walked into the house. Here is the end product. Along with a few pictures of erin and I preparing.






And so after our intense preparation and table setting we had the end product seen below. Happy little french dips on dinner rolls.
