How to make a French Dip Sandwich on the smoker.
First you need a 4lb choice grade, Eye of the Round. Coat the outside of the roast with a little olive oil and season with a good dose of Kosher Salt and Coarse Ground Black Pepper. Let the roast hang out on the counter while the smoker comes up to temperature about 30 minutes.
You can use any grill/smoker set up for indirect cooking. You want to hold the temperature steady between 250-275⁰. Once the coals are good and hot add a couple chunks of pecan to the fire and get the cooking grate in place. Set the roast on one side of the grate.
The Au Jus is just as important as the beef for this sandwich, so in a half size aluminum pan, sweat down a thinly sliced Vidalia sweet onion. (Toss the onion in 2 teaspoons Olive Oil and salt and pepper for extra flavor)
After about 20 minutes the onion are soft enough. Add 8oz of Johnny’s French Dip Au Jus base and 2 cups of water to the pan. (If you can’t find Johnny’s at your local store substitute 24oz of Beef Stock) Stir this mixture and cover with a lid or aluminum foil to prevent it from reducing too much.
Flip the Eye of Round after 20 minutes of smoking, and insert a probe thermometer into the center. Set the alarm for 130⁰ - medium rare. It should take in the neighborhood of 1 hour 15 minutes to reach desired doneness, but trust the thermometer, don’t go by time alone.
Once the alarm sounds, remove the roast from the pit and cover loosely with aluminum foil. It’ll need to rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Leave the pan of Au Jus on the pit until it’s time to carve.
For serving, slice the roast across the grain as thin as possible. Place that beautiful pile of smoked beef into the hot jus; and serve it up with some fresh French Rolls, thinly sliced provolone cheese, a touch of Creamy Horseradish Sauce, and of course you can’t forget the Au Jus for dipping.
This is one classic sandwich that your bbq pit takes to the next level!

[@jeremys.9905]

Instantly a family favorite. My oldest boy had never tried a French Dip and is hooked. Ate them three days in a row! Here's a little tip: place the slices of provolone on top of the foil that's covering the roast while it rests. Gets nice and gooey before you build the sammich! Also try slightly toasting the french rolls with a light layer of garlic butter

[@anthonya129]

I've been following your tips for a few years now, never disappointing, so I will be trying this tomorrow.

[@toqueman69]

I love learning from you, your smile is so genuine as you are about to eat that great meat! Cheers!

[@akomar1216]

French Dip came out phenomenal my man! I actually did it for about 45 minutes out on the grill just a little bit of smoky flavor and I'm not sure if you recall I told you I didn't have a smoker but boy it came out excellent,130° degrees and that sucker was rested for 20 minutes out on the counter! Delicious!!! Thank you!!

Malcolm, you have turned me into a BBQ master. I love all of your recipes. I can't wait to make this for dinner today. It's my birthday and I'm excited to cook it myself cause I love cooking on the smoker while swimming in the pool and listening to great 80's hair bands music. Perfect day! Thanks for all the great recipes, you are the best!

[@m.oberley64]

Malcom, I made this recipe yesterday using my BGE, and I must say, it was awesome. I brought some fresh sliced mushrooms to the onion party in the au jus, but other than that I followed your recommendation to the letter. Thanks for another great idea.

[@AlreadyBeenDoug]

My brother has been the family cook for 22 years. I recently bought a recteq 590 pellet grill. Made this for him, and he hands down said it's the best sandwich he's ever had. So this Is my thanks for making me an over night pit masta!

[@kj8060]

nice. can't beat that horseradish sauce on top for that extra taste. To slice the meat thin with food slicer would taste even better.

[@jamessnider2975]

Malcolm's Southern Drawl is amazing. Best KZbin Chef presenter bar None! Great work Boss!

[@guccivsguwop4655]

Tonight, I followed this basic recipe as close as I could. I grabbed a $14 4 pound eye of round from Samsclub, used mccormick au jus mix (the closest i could find at my local store), and used my gas grill. I also seasoned with weber carmelized onion seasoning on top of the normal salt and pepper. I cooked on indirect heat for about one hour and 40 minutes at 250 degrees while rotating every 30 minutes or so. It came out to a perfect medium rare! If I had a smoker, I would have tried it that way, but it still came out perfect. Thanks for the great video to give me a starting point!

[@dingo5208]

Just made this. Could not keep pit on temp but because it's more grilling than smoking it turned out AMAZING. I did the sweet onions in beef stock for au jus but also made frizzled sweet onions. Will definitely do this again in the future.

[@irikbeln4682]

Made this just tonight, only differences were that I used apple wood because that's what I have, and I did it on my Brinkmann. Excellent. I couldn't stop eating it. I actually might hurl soon.

[@AGINGFAST]

Great job Malcom..The only thing I do differently is to toast the french roll and dip the top half of the roll into the Aus Jus b/4 loading the roll with the meat. Letting the sliced meat rest in the Aus Jus really enhances the flavors..Good job!.
