Servings: 8 sandwiches
Calories: 595kcal
Ingredients
- 3 lb. chuck roast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion halved and sliced
- 8 garlic cloves minced
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 (1 oz.) packets Au Jus gravy mix
- 8 sub rolls
- 8 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Season the roast on all sides with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the olive oil and butter to a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes) on all sides.
- Transfer the beef to a large slow cooker.
- Add the onions to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic. Cook, stirring often for 2 minutes.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, low sodium beef broth, and Au Jus packets. Stir well until the Au Jus is combined.
- Pour the onions and liquid from the skillet over the beef in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
- Transfer the roast to a large bowl. Pick through the roast and discard any fat. Use an electric mixer or two forks to finely shred the beef.
- For a wetter sandwich, return the beef to the liquid in the crock pot. Str well to coat the beef in the liquid.
- For a drier sandwich, keep the beef separate from the liquid. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions from the Au Jus in the crock pot and add them to the bowl with the beef. Stir to combine the onions and beef.
- Open the sub rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Cover the bottom of each roll with provolone, tearing the cheese slices in half if necessary.
- Place the rolls under a broiler for 1-3 minutes, until the cheese is melty.
- Add the shredded beef and onions to the sub rolls.
- Ladle the Au Jus from the crock pot into small individual bowls or ramekins for serving.
- Dip the sandwiches into the Au Jus.
