Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pound chuck roast
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 hoagie rolls
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot. Lay the seasoned beef roast on top.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the dried thyme and oregano over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Use tongs to remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return it to the crock pot to soak up the juices.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the hoagie rolls and arrange them on a baking sheet. Add shredded beef to each roll and top with provolone cheese.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Strain the remaining liquid in the crock pot and serve it in small bowls as the dipping sauce.
Notes
[‘Slow cooking on low heat yields the most tender and flavorful beef.’, ‘Use a fine mesh strainer to remove onion and garlic bits for a smooth au jus.’, ‘Lightly toasting the bread prevents it from getting soggy when dipped into the au jus.’, ‘Shredded beef freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. Store the au jus separately for easy reheating.’]
