Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
- 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 large onion, sliced thin
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 6–8 French rolls, split
- 6–8 slices provolone cheese
- Optional toppings: sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or horseradish sauce
Instructions
- Rub the chuck roast with black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- In the crock pot, add the sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Place the beef on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Use tongs to remove the roast from the crock pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return the beef to the pot to soak in the juices.
- Split the French rolls and toast them lightly in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
- Layer shredded beef and a slice of provolone cheese onto each roll. Pop them back in the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Ladle the crock pot juices into small bowls for dipping. Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!
