Beef and Broth

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Beef Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Broth

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add thyme and bay leaf.

  3. 3

    Combine in Slow Cooker

    Pour the broth mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Rolls

    Once the beef is cooked, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French rolls in half and spread softened butter on the cut sides.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese and Beef

    Place the buttered rolls on a baking sheet. Layer with slices of provolone cheese and shredded beef from the slow cooker. Use a slotted spoon to avoid excess liquid.

  3. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven.

  4. 7

    Serve with Au Jus

    Ladle some of the beef broth into small bowls for dipping. Serve the sandwiches hot with au jus on the side.
