Ingredients
  

Meat
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
Sauce
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Bread & Cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (optional)
Garnish
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Sear the beef on all sides until browned (3-4 minutes per side). Skip for simplicity.
  3. Transfer the browned or unbrowned roast into the Crockpot.
  4. Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour over beef in the Crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until beef is tender.
  6. Remove roast and let rest for 5 minutes. Shred the beef.
  7. Place shredded beef back into the Crockpot to soak in juices. Slice hoagie rolls and melt provolone cheese on rolls if desired.
  8. Fill each hoagie roll with shredded beef and serve with au jus for dipping. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality beef broth and consider adding a bay leaf to the Crockpot during cooking.
