Ingredients

3 pounds chuck roast

3 cups beef broth

1 packet onion soup mix

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 slices provolone cheese

4 French rolls or small baguettes

2 tablespoons butter (optional)

Instructions

1. Sear the chuck roast in a hot skillet until browned on all sides (optional but recommended).

2. Place the roast in a slow cooker. Add beef broth, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic.

3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and shreddable.

4. Remove the roast, shred with forks, and return the beef to the juices in the slow cooker.

5. Slice the French rolls and lightly butter if desired. Toast under the broiler until golden.

6. Pile shredded beef onto the rolls, top with provolone cheese, and broil again until melted.

7. Strain the slow cooker juices and serve as au jus for dipping.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the broth.

Don’t skip broiling the cheese—it gives a perfectly melty finish with a toasty bite.
