Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 1 large Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Crusty sandwich rolls
- 6 slices Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
Peel and slice the large onion into thin rings, then peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of a crock pot.
Top the roast with the sliced onion and minced garlic.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the broth mixture over the roast in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easy to shred.
Once cooked, transfer the roast to a large plate and shred the beef using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot to soak up the juices.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
Slice the sandwich rolls in half. Place one slice of provolone cheese on each bottom half of the rolls.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the rolls are toasted.
Remove the rolls from the oven and load each roll with shredded beef. Top with the other half of the roll.
Ladle the remaining cooking liquid (au jus) into small bowls or ramekins for dipping.
Serve the sandwiches immediately with the au jus on the side for dipping, and enjoy!
