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