Ingredients
2 lbs beef chuck roast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
4 hoagie rolls
4 slices provolone cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Season the Beef
Pat the beef dry. Rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Sear the Roast (Optional but Recommended)
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef for 3–4 minutes per side until browned for extra flavor.
3. Add to Crockpot
Place beef in the Crockpot.
4. Prepare Broth
Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour over the beef.
5. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours until the beef is tender and easily shreddable.
6. Shred the Beef
Remove beef, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred using two forks. Return shredded meat to juices in the Crockpot.
7. Prepare Sandwiches
Toast hoagie rolls if desired. Melt provolone cheese under a broiler for 1–2 minutes for extra richness.
8. Assemble & Serve
Fill rolls with shredded beef. Serve with warm au jus from the Crockpot for dipping. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Searing the beef adds deeper flavor but can be skipped for convenience.
Letting the beef sit in its juices after shredding keeps it extra moist.
Add onions or garlic cloves to the Crockpot for more depth.
Swiss cheese can be used instead of provolone.
