Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 lbs beef roast
  • ½ onion sliced
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 6 hoagie rolls sliced and toasted
  • 12 slices provolone cheese

Instructions
 

  • Load the Slow Cooker
    Place the beef roast into your crockpot. Add sliced onions, onion soup mix, minced garlic, and beef broth. No searing needed.
  • Cook Low and Slow
    Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours until the beef shreds effortlessly with a fork.
  • Shred the Beef
    Remove the roast and shred it on a cutting board. Remove large onion pieces if desired. Return the beef to the broth to absorb more flavor.
  • Assemble the Sandwiches
    Toast the hoagie rolls. Fill them with shredded beef and top with provolone slices. Broil just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve with Au Jus
    Ladle the hot broth into bowls for dipping. Enjoy your homemade au jus with each sandwich.

Notes

  • Toast the Rolls: Adds crunch and prevents sogginess.
  • Use a Fat Separator: To create a cleaner tasting au jus.
  • Melt the Cheese Just Right: Broil for 1–2 minutes max for the perfect bubbly top.
  • Freeze It for Later: Store beef and broth separately for easy reheating.
  • Don’t Skip the Dip: The au jus elevates every bite!
