Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 3 pounds Beef Chuck Roast Substitute round roast or brisket if needed.
  • 4 cups Beef Broth Low-sodium broth is great to control salt levels.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced garlic is best, but garlic powder works too.
  • 1 medium Onion Yellow onions are typical; shallots or red onions can also be used.
For the Sandwiches
  • 4 rolls French Rolls/Baguettes Brioche or hoagie rolls can be delightful substitutes.
  • 1 cup Cheese Optional; melted provolone, Swiss, or cheddar pairs beautifully.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef chuck roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until it develops a rich, golden crust. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add to Crockpot: Transfer beef to the Crockpot. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and sliced onions. Stir gently to ensure the beef is submerged.
  3. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is very tender.
  4. Shred the Beef: Remove beef from the Crockpot, shred into bite-sized pieces, and return to the juices.
  5. Toast the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French rolls in half and toast for about 5-7 minutes until golden.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon shredded beef on each toasted roll. Add cheese if desired.
  7. Serve: Serve hot with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.
