Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 3 cups Beef broth
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 whole Bay leaves
• 6 whole Hoagie rolls or French rolls
• 6 slices Provolone cheese slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it in the slow cooker.

Step 2

Add the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, sliced onion, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaves to the crock pot.

Step 3

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to shred.

Step 4

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef with two forks and discard any large pieces of fat.

Step 5

Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove the onions and bay leaves. Reserve the strained liquid for serving as au jus.

Step 6

Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with a small amount of the strained liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 7

To assemble the French dips, slice the hoagie or French rolls in half and toast them if desired.

Step 8

Layer shredded beef onto the bottom half of each roll. Add a slice of provolone cheese if desired, then top with the upper half of the roll.

Step 9

Serve with individual bowls of the reserved au jus for dipping.
