Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Prep & Season
- Dry your roast thoroughly with paper towels. Rub the olive oil and all your spices (salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder) over every inch of the meat.
Step 2: The Flavor Sear
- Get a skillet screaming hot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef for about 3–4 minutes per side. You aren't cooking it through; you're just building a crust that adds massive depth to the final broth. FYI: You can skip this if you're in a rush, but the flavor won't be as "legendary."
Step 3: Into the Crockpot
- Drop your roast into the slow cooker. In a small jug, whisk together the broth, Worcestershire, and soy sauce. Pour it right over the beef.
Step 4: The Long Simmer
- Cover and let it ride on Low for 8 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the meat falls apart just by looking at it.
Step 5: Shred & Soak
- Lift the roast out and let it rest for 5 minutes (don't skip the rest!). Shred the beef using two forks. Pro-tip: Toss the shredded meat back into the crockpot for 10 minutes to let it soak up that liquid gold before serving.
Step 6: The Bread Prep
- Split your rolls and lay the cheese on top. Pop them under the broiler for 60–90 seconds until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is toasted.
Step 7: Serve & Dip
- Load the rolls with beef and fill small individual bowls with the juice from the pot. Dip, eat, repeat.
Notes
Serving & Beverage Suggestions
- The Perfect Side: Serve with crispy air-fryer potato wedges or a tangy creamy coleslaw to cut through the richness.
- The Onion Trick: Sauté a sliced yellow onion in the beef drippings after searing and toss them into the crockpot with the meat for an "onion soup" vibe.
- Keep it Moist: If you’re serving a crowd over a few hours, keep the crockpot on "Warm" and keep the beef submerged in the liquid.
