Equipment

  • 6 quart Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1 large Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 large cloves Garlic, minced or pressed
  • 4-5 pounds Beef Chuck Roast* (boneless)
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves (not ground)
  • ½ teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 2-ounce packet Onion Soup Mix
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
  • 1 10.5-ounce can Beef Consommé
  • 1 cup Beef Broth
  • ¼ cup Dry Sherry

To Serve

  • 7-10 French Rolls
  • 14 slices Provolone Cheese (or to taste)

Instructions

  • Add the sliced onion and the garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle the salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano on all sides of the roast and place the roast on top of the onions.
  • Sprinkle the onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, consommé, beef broth, and sherry over the roast.
  • Place the cover on the crock pot and cook on Low for 8-9 hours, or High for 4-5 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. Remove the meat to a plate and shred. Set aside.
  • Strain out the onions and set aside. Reserve the drippings (jus), and use a fat separator if you want to remove some of the fat. Then pour the jus into individual serving bowl for dipping.
  • Butter and toast the buns if you want, then pile some of the shredded beef and reserved onion onto each roll and top with a couple slices of the provolone cheese (you can then broil them if you want to melt the cheese).
  • Serve each sandwich with a cup of the hot jus for dipping the sandwiches into.

Notes

*Can also use a boneless beef rib loin, tied, or a rump roast.
