French Dip Sandwiches

This is from my friend Debbie:
we tried this recipe for french dip sandwiches yesterday. it's lower sodium than others i've tried. next time, i might use a little less soy sauce. i thought it was still a little salty tasting. and maybe a little less thyme. but good. the boys liked it because the meat wasn't very seasoned, but g and i could dip it. something for everyone - and leftovers!

Crock Pot French Dip

1 lean beef roast (3 to 4 pounds)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 beef bouillon cube
1 bay leaf
3 to 4 whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Hard rolls or French bread
Directions: Remove and discard all visible fat from roast. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine soy sauce, bouillon and spices; pour over roast. Add water to almost cover roast. Cover and cook over low heat 10-12 hours or until meat is very tender. Remove meat from broth; reserve broth. Shred meat with a fork. Serve on hard rolls or French bread slices with broth. Yield: 12 sandwiches.
