Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Broth
- 3 lb chuck roast
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef consomme
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread and Cheese
- 6 crusty sandwich rolls
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season the roast: Generously season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and onion powder, ensuring the spices coat all sides for full flavor infusion.
- Prepare the crockpot: Place the seasoned chuck roast into the crockpot. Pour in the beef consomme, beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and add the minced garlic evenly over the meat.
- Cook the roast: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours, or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
- Shred the beef: Remove the roast from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the crockpot, mixing it well with the cooking juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Toast the crusty rolls until golden. Layer each roll with a generous amount of shredded beef and top with a slice of provolone cheese. Serve immediately with a side of the hot cooking liquid as au jus for dipping.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine or a few sprigs of fresh rosemary to the crockpot.
- The sandwich rolls can be lightly buttered and toasted under a broiler to add more texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat with some broth to keep the meat moist.
- Feel free to use different cheese varieties like mozzarella or Swiss according to preference.
- The cooking liquid makes a delicious dip but can be strained and reduced on the stove for a thicker sauce if desired.
