Slow-cooked, tender beef seasoned and bathing in a rich au jus, nestled inside crusty rolls and topped with melted cheese. A foolproof comfort food recipe perfect for gatherings or cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast, well-marbled
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 large onion, sliced thinly
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty French rolls or hoagie buns, warmed or toasted
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • Butter, melted (optional, for brushing rolls)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Slice the onion thinly, mince the garlic, and trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast.
  2. Place the sliced onion and garlic in the bottom of your crockpot. Lay the beef roast on top.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the broth mixture over the beef, ensuring it’s mostly submerged. Add the bay leaves.
  5. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
  6. Using tongs and two forks, shred the beef directly in the crockpot. Remove the bay leaves.
  7. Slice the rolls and brush them with melted butter. Toast them in the oven or on a skillet until golden and crispy.
  8. Pile the shredded beef onto the toasted rolls and top with a slice or two of provolone cheese. If desired, broil until the cheese is melted.
  9. Ladle the flavorful broth into small bowls or ramekins for dipping. Serve the sandwiches warm.

Notes

[‘Choose a well-marbled chuck roast for maximum tenderness.’, ‘Toast the rolls for added crunch and flavor.’, ‘Skim excess fat from the au jus after cooking for a cleaner taste.’, ‘Taste the au jus before serving and adjust seasoning if needed.’]
