Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Add sliced onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and fresh thyme (if using). Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Beef

    Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Rolls

    While the beef rests, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Split the French rolls or hoagie bread and lightly toast them in the oven.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Place shredded beef inside each toasted roll. Use a ladle to pour some of the broth from the slow cooker into small bowls for dipping.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with the broth on the side for dipping.
