A savory, slow-cooked beef sandwich with tender meat and rich au jus for dunking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 hoagie rolls
  • Sliced provolone cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker and season all over with salt and pepper. Lay the sliced onion and minced garlic on top.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Pour the mixture evenly over the roast and onions.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 480 minutes or until the meat is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  4. Remove the roast to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Discard any large pieces of fat.
  5. Serve the shredded beef piled on hoagie rolls. Top with sliced provolone if you like, and place briefly under a broiler or in a hot oven to melt the cheese.
  6. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and skim off excess fat. Serve the strained liquid warm as au jus for dipping.

Notes

For a slightly different herb profile, substitute 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for the thyme. For a lower-sodium version, use reduced-sodium broth and adjust seasoning at the end.
