Tender, juicy beef sandwiches slow-cooked to perfection in a crockpot with savory broth and garlic, then topped with melted Swiss and served with a rich dipping sauce.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 12 French roll halves
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Place onion and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add beef roast on top.
  2. Season roast with Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Pour in beef broth.
  3. Cook on low for 8–9 hours or high for 5–6 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  4. Remove beef and shred with two forks. Return to cooking liquid and stir to coat.
  5. Preheat oven broiler. Place roll halves on a baking sheet, top each with shredded beef and a slice of Swiss cheese.
  6. Broil 2–3 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve immediately with reserved au pair sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sear the roast in a skillet before adding to the crockpot.
  • Prepare the au pair sauce separately: reduce 1 cup broth from crockpot with 2 tbsp butter and 1 tsp Worcestershire.
  • Use crustyciabatta or hoagie rolls for the best texture.
