Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast A boneless roast works well.
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) beef broth Consider low-sodium for a lower-sodium option.
  • 1 packet onion soup mix Can be salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
  • 6 slices provolone cheese Swiss or mozzarella are good alternatives.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
  • Fresh parsley For garnish, optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the roast in the slow cooker, fat side up to baste the meat as it renders.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the beef broth and onion soup mix until smooth. Pour the mixture over the roast.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the beef shreds easily with two forks.
  2. Remove the roast to a cutting board and shred the meat into bite-size pieces.
  3. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and stir so it soaks up the juices for a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Assembly
  1. Split each hoagie roll and pile on shredded beef.
  2. Top with a slice of provolone and let it melt from the warm meat or place under a broiler for 30–60 seconds.
  3. Serve warm with au jus in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container within two hours. Store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving. Toasting rolls prevents sogginess.
