*A great beef roast for french dip sandwiches is a chuck roast. You want one that is lean with great marbling. Marbling is when you see thin white lines throughout the roast. If you cannot find this (which happens to me quite a lot) feel free to branch out and pick another beef roast that looks better.
*If cooking in a pressure cooker you can get any size roast. The pressure cooker will compensate for the size by taking longer or short time to come to pressure and natural releasing.
