  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • French baguette or hoagie rolls
  • Swiss or provolone cheese (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Place it in the slow cooker along with sliced onions and minced garlic.
  2. Mix beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme, then pour over the beef. Cover with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until tender and easily shredded.
  3. Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir to coat in the juices. Keep warm.
  4. Slice the baguette or rolls lengthwise. Optional: top the beef with cheese slices and toast lightly in a skillet or oven.
  5. Fill each roll with shredded beef. Serve the sandwiches hot with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.

  • Prepare the beef in advance and reheat before assembling the sandwiches.
  • Use any beef cut suitable for slow cooking if preferred.
  • For gluten-free options, use gluten-free rolls and soy sauce or coconut aminos.
