Description

Use your slow cooker to make awesome sandwiches. The beef roast cooks slowly in seasoned beef broth, is shredded and piled on top of crusty rolls with cheese slices, toasted in the broiler a bit and serve with au jus for dipping.

Ingredients

• 2 T. olive oil
• 2 1/2 - 3 lb. beef chuck roast
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 - 1 oz. packages dry onion soup mix
• 2 c. water
• 30-32 oz. beef broth
• 6-8 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese
• 6-8 crusty rolls, like ciabatta

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. While the oil is heating, season all sides of the chuck roast with the salt and pepper.
3. When the oil starts to shimmer, carefully place the beef in the hot pan; sear on all sides by letting it sit without moving for 1-2 minutes on each side before flipping it. Searing doesn't take long. It just needs to quickly brown to add flavor and seal in the juices.
