Our Smoked and Shredded Beef Dip Sandwich takes a tender beef roast and slow smokes it before it gets sealed and braised in a savory au jus. Shredded, loaded on toasted hoagie rolls, and then topped with ridiculous amounts of smoked gouda for one of the best dip sandwiches EVER.

How to make shredded beef dip sandwiches

Want to know what you are getting yourself into? Here's the quick-and-dirty run-down. Make sure that you use the recipe card below for the full instructions when you are actually cooking this!

Smoke it

Preheat your pellet grill, season your meat, and smoked it right on the grill grates for 3 hours at about 225°.

Braise it

Put the roast into a pan along with some beef stock, onion, garlic, and au jus. Cover it tightly and let it cook at 275° for another 3-4 hours, or until the roast gets to about 205° and is easily shreddable.

Shred it

Shred the beef with two forks or some meat claws. Load it on toasted hoagie rolls and top with all of the sliced smoked gouda you can handle.

Melt it

Stick the sandwiches back on the grill for a minute or under a broiler to melt the cheese.

Serve

Serve with the au jus sauce for dipping!

How to store leftover shredded beef dip sandwiches

The key to storing these is to not build all of the sandwiches at once. Only put together sandwiches that are going to be eaten right away, and store the rest separately in an air-tight container.

How to reheat shredded beef dip sandwiches

Shredded beef dips are pretty easy to reheat. I recommend using the microwave and heating it up in the au jus for the best results. You could also reheat this on the stove if there is enough liquid left to simmer slowly and heat the meat through.

FAQ

What types of beef roasts work best for this recipe?

We used a sirloin cap roast in this particular dish, but any of the typical cuts of beef would work. I've used chuck successfully (and that's what we normally use). I've also heard of people having success with rump or tri tip as well.

What can you substitute for the Johnny's Au Jus powder?

If you can't find my favorite au jus powder, you can always substitute another brand instead. These are typically found near all of the other powdered mixes in the grocery store.
