Tender, slow-cooked beef sandwiches served on hoagie rolls with melted provolone cheese and a side of rich au jus for dipping. Perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Broth:
    • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
    • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
  • For the Beef:
    • 3 lbs chuck roast
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Aromatic Extras:
    • 1 sprig fresh rosemary and 1 sprig fresh thyme
    • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
    • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • For the Sandwiches:
    • 6 crusty hoagie buns, or 2 crusty baguettes cut into thirds
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 6 deli slices of provolone or Swiss cheese, halved for easy melting

Instructions

  1. Place beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle au jus mix and onion soup mix over the roast.
  3. Add sliced onion and beef broth (and Worcestershire sauce if using).
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until beef is tender and shreds easily.
  5. Remove beef from slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  6. Return shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix with the juices.
  7. Slice hoagie rolls and fill with beef mixture. Top with provolone cheese.
  8. Broil in the oven for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and rolls are toasted.
  9. Serve with a side of au jus from the slow cooker for dipping.

Notes

  • For a richer au jus, skim excess fat from the cooking liquid before serving.
  • Can be made with French bread or ciabatta rolls instead of hoagie rolls.
  • Leftover beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For added flavor, sauté the onions before adding to the slow cooker.
