Ingredients
  

For the Beef:

  • 3-4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet 1 oz dry onion soup mix
  • 1 packet 1 oz au jus gravy mix
  • 1 can 10.5 oz beef broth
  • 1 can 10.5 oz condensed French onion soup
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

For the Sandwiches:

  • 6-8 hoagie rolls or French bread
  • 6-8 slices provolone cheese
  • Optional: butter for toasting bread

For the Au Jus Dipping Sauce:

  • Juices from the slow cooker
  • Additional beef broth optional, to thin sauce if needed

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix, au jus gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the roast.
  • Add beef broth, French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, ensuring the beef is submerged. Cover and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 4-5 hours.
  • Let the roast cook until fork-tender, easily shredding with two forks.
  • Transfer the beef to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker to soak in the juices.
  • Strain the remaining broth to remove fat and solids, creating a clear au jus. Add more beef broth if needed to thin it.
  • Toast hoagie rolls with butter under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Pile shredded beef onto each roll, top with provolone cheese, and broil for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts.
