Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 pieces French rolls
• 4 slices Provolone cheese

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Rub the seasoning evenly over all sides of the meat.

Step 2

Place the seasoned beef in a slow cooker or crockpot.

Step 3

Add the diced yellow onion, beef broth, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded.

Step 5

Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak in the juices.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Slice the French rolls in half and spread the cut sides with unsalted butter.

Step 8

Place the rolls on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Top the bottom halves of the toasted rolls with shredded beef and a slice of provolone cheese.

Step 10

Return the assembled sandwiches (open-faced) to the oven for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls.

Step 12

Strain the cooking liquid (au jus) from the slow cooker into small bowls for dipping.

Step 13

Serve the French Dip Beef Sandwiches warm with the au jus on the side for dipping.
