Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs boneless chuck roast
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for searing)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups beef broth (low sodium)
- 1 packet (1 oz) French onion soup mix
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls or slider buns
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 slices provolone cheese (or Swiss)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Beef: Pat chuck roast dry. Season generously with salt and pepper. Optional: Sear roast in hot olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side. Place in a slow cooker.
- Step 2: Crafting the Au Jus: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, French onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until fork-tender.
- Step 3: Prepare Buns: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the entire block of buns horizontally. Place bottom half in a 9×13 inch baking dish. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and minced garlic. Brush generously over both top and bottom bun halves.
- Step 4: Shred Beef & Strain Au Jus: Remove beef from slow cooker and shred with two forks. Strain cooking liquid into a saucepan; this is your au jus. Keep warm on low heat.
- Step 5: Layering for Success: Lay half of the cheese slices over the bottom buns. Evenly spread shredded beef over the cheese, then top with remaining cheese slices. Place the top half of the buns back on.
- Step 6: Bake to Perfection: Cover baking dish loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra crispness, remove foil for the last 5 minutes. Serve hot with warm au jus for dipping.
