Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 1 large, sliced Onion
- 4 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 French rolls or hoagie rolls
- 6 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, sear the beef chuck roast on all sides over medium-high heat until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the seared beef chuck roast on top of the onions.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Pour the broth mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids. This will be your au jus dipping sauce.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the French rolls or hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet.
Layer shredded beef on the bottom half of each roll and top with a slice of provolone cheese.
Bake the prepared sandwiches in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted.
Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of the au jus sauce on the side for dipping.
