Ingredients
  

For the Sandwich
  • 2-3 pounds beef roast (chuck or round) Choose a cut that is suitable for slow cooking.
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 6 pieces French rolls or hoagie buns Choose sturdy rolls for better dipping.
  • 12 slices provolone cheese Can be substituted with Swiss or mozzarella.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the beef roast in the crockpot.
  2. Top with sliced onion and minced garlic.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together beef broth, water, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the roast.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is tender and falling apart.
  5. Shred the beef with two forks and mix it back into the juices in the crockpot.
Serving
  1. Serve on French rolls or hoagie buns topped with provolone cheese, using the leftover juice as an au jus dip.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for about 3-4 days. For best results, store beef and broth separately from the rolls to prevent sogginess. You can freeze the beef mixture for up to 3 months.
