Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 6 whole Hoagie rolls or French rolls
- 6 slices Provolone cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it in the slow cooker.
Add the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, sliced onion, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaves to the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to shred.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef with two forks and discard any large pieces of fat.
Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove the onions and bay leaves. Reserve the strained liquid for serving as au jus.
Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with a small amount of the strained liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
To assemble the French dips, slice the hoagie or French rolls in half and toast them if desired.
Layer shredded beef onto the bottom half of each roll. Add a slice of provolone cheese if desired, then top with the upper half of the roll.
Serve with individual bowls of the reserved au jus for dipping.
