Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef roast (such as top sirloin or chuck roast)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 6 French or Italian sandwich rolls
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for toasting rolls)
• 0 Optional toppings: provolone cheese, horseradish sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Step 2

Season the beef roast all over with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Once seared, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet by adding a small amount of the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Add the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and dried thyme to the skillet, stirring well to combine.

Step 8

Return the beef roast to the skillet, covering it partially or fully with the liquid.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Cook the beef for approximately 2 hours, or until it is tender and can be easily shredded or sliced thinly.

Step 11

Carefully remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. Thinly slice or shred the beef as desired.

Step 12

Strain the liquid in the skillet to remove any solids, creating a smooth au jus for dipping. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 13

Optional: Lightly butter the sandwich rolls and toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown.

Step 14

Assemble the sandwiches by piling the sliced beef onto the sandwich rolls. Add optional toppings like provolone cheese or horseradish sauce, if desired.

Step 15

Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of au jus on the side for dipping.
