Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2½ –3 pounds beef chuck roast
Kosher salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix
2 cups water
2 14.5-ounce cans beef broth
6 –8 slices Swiss or provolone cheese
6 –8 crusty rolls ciabatta works wonderfully

Instructions

Dry the chuck roast, season with salt and pepper, and sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
Place roast in a slow cooker, sprinkle with onion soup mix, and pour in water and broth. Cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 5–6 hours until tender.
Shred the beef with two forks and return it to the broth to stay warm.
Place shredded beef and cheese on split rolls. Broil 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted.
Top with the other roll halves and serve with warm jus for dipping.
