- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme

Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and pat it dry with paper towels.
Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of a crock pot.
Pour the beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
Add the minced garlic, sliced onion, black pepper, and dried thyme to the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids, reserving the liquid as the au jus for dipping.
Split the French rolls or hoagie buns and toast them if desired.
Place shredded beef onto each roll and top with a slice of provolone cheese, if using.
Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.
