Ingredients
- 3 lbs chuck roast excess fat trimmed
- 5 medium yellow onions thinly sliced
- 6 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 28 oz beef stock or beef consomme
- 6 Hoagie rolls
- 12 lices of cheese swiss, havarti, or provolone
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a 9x13 baking dish or large dutch oven, layer the onion slices on the bottom of the dish. Season with the sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper and toss to coat onion slices in seasoning.
- In a small bowl, use a fork to mix the butter, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp black pepper with the pressed garlic to make a garlic paste. Use the rest of the salt and pepper to season the meat generously on each side, then rub the garlic paste over each side of the roast. Place the seasoned chuck on top of the seasoned onion slices in your baking dish or dutch oven.
- Pour in beef broth then put it into the oven, covered with aluminum foil or with oven-safe lid, for 2 hours. Remove the lid and cook for another hour until chuck roast is tender and barely holding together.
- Pull the roast out; slice and shred the meat on a cutting board. Use a fine mesh sieve to strain the onions from the jus; save both the au jus and onions separately.
- In the sandwich rolls, layer slices of cheese, onions, and meat. Place on baking sheets and put into the oven on a low broil. Melt the cheese for a few minutes, then remove from oven.
- Serve with the jus in small bowls on the side to dip into.

Notes
- Slow cooker friendly - make weeknight dinners a breeze by doing this all in the slow cooker and cooking on low for 8-10 hours while you're at work!
- Add umami - adding some soy sauce or worcestershire sauce to the beef broth gives us even deeper, richer umami flavor in our au jus.
