Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- French rolls or hoagie buns
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Trim the beef chuck roast of excess fat. Season all sides with black pepper.
- In the crock pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Place the beef on top.
- In a bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and oregano. Pour this mixture over the beef.
- Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender. (If pressed for time, cook on high for 4–5 hours.)
- Remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot to soak in the juices.
- Optional: Split the rolls and toast them lightly in a skillet or oven for added crunch.
- Layer shredded beef onto the toasted rolls. Add a slice of provolone cheese on top.
- Strain the liquid from the crock pot into a bowl for dipping sauce.
- Serve the sandwiches warm with a side of au jus for dipping.
Notes
For extra flavor, toast the rolls lightly before assembling the sandwiches. Strain the au jus for a smoother dipping sauce. If the au jus is too thin, simmer it on the stovetop to reduce and concentrate the flavors.
