Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS:

4 lbs beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
6-8 hoagie rolls
8-12 slices provolone cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Let’s kick things off by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your beef chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms. This step is key for locking in those savory flavors!

Next, place your thinly sliced onions and minced garlic at the bottom of your trusty slow cooker. These aromatic ingredients will infuse your beef with flavor as it cooks.

Now, transfer your beautifully seared chuck roast into the slow cooker, nestling it snugly on top of the onions and garlic.

In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, and dried thyme. This flavorful mixture will be the secret sauce that transforms your beef into tender, melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

Pour the broth mixture over the beef in the slow cooker, ensuring every inch is bathed in savory goodness …
