Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Cook in the Slow Cooker

    Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is very tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the beef with two forks.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Slice the French rolls or baguette in half. Place a generous amount of shredded beef on the bottom half of each roll. Top with Swiss or provolone cheese.

  6. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches with a small bowl of the beef broth for dipping.
