Add the onions, garlic, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Thai hot sauce and broth. Place the sleeve in the slow cooker and turn the slow cooker to its lowest setting. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until the meat begins to fall apart with the pull of a fork.

Don't like sweet peppers? In their place, try a sprig of rosemary for more flavor. I've not added salt for fear some would think it too salty, but my preference is to salt lightly. The roast and juices are perfect for a New Orleans-style "roast beef on French". Great for football parties, etc. Can be made ahead, frozen and rewarmed.

Steps:
- Place roast in slow cooker. Cover with broth, bouillon, water, soy sauce, black pepper, garlic, onions and peppers, if using. Salt the roast, if desired.
- Cook low for 7-9 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Split rolls or baguettes and brush with olive oil.

- Top with cheese and toast until cheese just begins to melt.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast is a good choice for slow cooking, as it is a tough cut that becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly. You can also use other cuts of beef, such as brisket or rump roast.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is an important part of the flavor of the slow-cooked French dip, so it is important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
- Add vegetables to the slow cooker: Vegetables add flavor and nutrition to the slow-cooked French dip. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.
- Cook the beef on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the beef to become very tender and flavorful. You can also cook the beef on high for 4-6 hours, but the beef will not be as tender.
- Make the au jus: The au jus is a delicious dipping sauce for the slow-cooked French dip. It is made with the beef broth, the vegetables that were cooked with the beef, and some seasonings. You can also add a little bit of red wine or Worcestershire sauce to the au jus for extra flavor.
- Serve the slow-cooked French dip on hoagie rolls: Hoagie rolls are the traditional bread for French dip sandwiches. You can also use other types of bread, such as sourdough bread or baguette.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooked French dip is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a casual meal. The beef is cooked slowly in a flavorful beef broth, and the au jus is a delicious dipping sauce. The sandwich is served on hoagie rolls, and it can be topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and other desired toppings.
