Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef consomme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 crusty sandwich rolls
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast: Generously season the 3 lb chuck roast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and onion powder, ensuring the spices coat the entire surface of the meat for maximum flavor infusion during cooking.
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the seasoned roast in the crockpot. Pour in the beef consomme, beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and add the minced garlic, creating a flavorful cooking liquid around the beef.
- Cook the beef: Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
- Shred the beef: Remove the roast from the crockpot and shred it finely using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot to soak up the juices and enhance its flavor.
- Assemble sandwiches: Toast the crusty sandwich rolls until golden. Layer each roll with a generous amount of shredded beef and top with a slice of provolone cheese. Serve immediately alongside a bowl of the cooking liquid for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, use a chuck roast as it becomes tender and flavorful after slow cooking.
- You can substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference.
- To make rolls crispier, toast them under a broiler for 1–2 minutes.
- Leftover beef and jus can be refrigerated and reheated for up to 3 days.
- Adjust seasoning in the broth if needed before serving to taste.
