Ingredients
- 🥩 3-4 lb chuck roast
- 🫒 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 🧅 1 large onion, sliced
- 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 🥣 3 cups beef broth
- 🥄 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 🥄 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 🌿 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 🥖 6 French rolls or hoagie buns
- 🧀 6 slices provolone cheese
- 🌱 Optional: fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Set Up the Crockpot: Place sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of your crockpot. Lay the seared roast on top.
- Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary over the roast.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.
- Shred the Beef: Remove the roast from the crockpot, shred with two forks, and return the meat to the juices in the crockpot to soak up flavor.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Preheat oven to broil. Slice rolls open, pile with shredded beef, and top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Broil: Place sandwiches under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Plate sandwiches with a small bowl of the au jus (cooking liquid) for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
