A simple and flavorful slow cooker recipe for tender, juicy beef sandwiches served with rich au jus, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast, well-marbled
  • 4 cups beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • 1 large onion, sliced thin
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6–8 sturdy hoagie or French sandwich rolls
  • Optional: Provolone or Swiss cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast, leaving some marbling for flavor. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Generously rub salt and pepper all over the roast.
  3. Place sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Place the beef chuck roast on top of the onions and garlic.
  5. Pour beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and rosemary over the roast, covering about two-thirds of the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the roast and shred the beef using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
  8. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and skim off excess fat if needed.
  9. Pile shredded beef onto sandwich rolls, optionally top with cheese slices and toast until melted.
  10. Serve sandwiches hot with a small bowl of warm au jus for dipping.

Notes

For deeper flavor, sear the roast on all sides before slow cooking. Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. Toast rolls lightly to prevent sogginess. Strain and skim fat from au jus for best results. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
