Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 4 rolls Baguette or French rolls
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a slow cooker, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, sliced onion, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the beef chuck roast to the slow cooker, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
Strain the liquid left in the slow cooker into a medium pot to create the au jus. Keep the au jus warm over low heat.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the baguettes or French rolls in half lengthwise and spread butter on the cut sides.
Toast the buttered bread in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until golden and slightly crisp.
Place the shredded beef on the bottom halves of the toasted bread. Top with a slice of provolone cheese, then place the bread back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread and cut each sandwich in half, if desired.
Serve the sandwiches with warm au jus in small bowls for dipping.
