Ingredients
For the Beef:
- 2 to 3 pounds chuck roast (boneless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
- 4 to 6 hoagie rolls or French rolls
- 4 to 6 slices provolone or Swiss cheese (optional)
- Butter for toasting (optional)

How To Cook:
Step 1: Sear the Beef (Optional for Extra Flavor)
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. This adds extra depth of flavor to your meat.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Crockpot
Place the seared roast into the crockpot. Pour in the beef broth, then add Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently.
Step 3: Slow Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook:
- On LOW for 6 to 8 hours
- Or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours
The beef should be very tender and shred easily with a fork.
Step 4: Shred the Beef
Remove the cooked roast from the crockpot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and let it soak in the flavorful au jus for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Step 5: Toast the Rolls (Optional)
Butter the hoagie rolls and toast them in a skillet or under the broiler until golden. This prevents sogginess and adds texture.
Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches
Place a generous portion of shredded beef onto each toasted roll. Add a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese if desired.
Step 7: Serve with Au Jus for Dipping
Ladle the remaining au jus from the crockpot into small bowls. Serve each sandwich with a side of warm au jus for dipping.
