Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 0.33 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 pieces Crusty sandwich rolls
- 6 slices Provolone or Swiss cheese (optional)
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast liberally with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a slow cooker, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Stir to mix thoroughly.
Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker. Ensure it is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak in the juices for about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the sandwich rolls in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
If using cheese, layer a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese on the bottom half of each roll. Place the baking sheet under the broiler until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the rolls from the oven and pile the shredded beef onto the bottom half of each roll. Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll.
Ladle the cooking liquid (au jus) from the slow cooker into small bowls for dipping.
Serve the sandwiches warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.
