Ingredients
Beef:
- 3 lb beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat or round beef roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sauce:
- 1 10.5 oz cans beef consommé
- 2 10.5 oz cans french onion soup
- 1 12 oz bottle of beer you can use non alcoholic too
- 10 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dark molasses
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1½ tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 3 bay leaves
To Serve:
- 6 French rolls or hoagie buns
- 12 lices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Freshly Parsley chopped
- French fried onions optional
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat.
- Sear beef on all sides until lightly golden - brown. For about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Using tongs, carefully transfer beef to the slow cooker and top with all SAUCE ingredients. Gently stir everything to combine.
Cooking tips if you are using a round beef roast:
- Cook beef on low for 8 hours. After 8 hours shred the beef and continue cooking for another 1 hour on low.
- TIP: For best results, after 4 hours of cooking, turn beef on the other side for the rest of the cooking. After 8 hours of cooking, shred beef into the sauce and cook on low for one more hour.
Cooking tips if you are using a chuck roast:
- Cook beef on low for 8 hours. Once ready, transfer the roast to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain, or you can shred the beef.
- OR: cook roast on low for 5 hours, transfer roast to a cutting board and thinly slice it across the grain. Place sliced meat back in the slow cooker and cook on low for another 2 hours.
Store:
- Any remaining beef should be added to an airtight container and topped with the remaining sauce so it does not dry out. Store in the fridge for 4-6 days.
Serve:
- When ready to serve, remove beef from the slow cooker, using a ladle and a fine mesh, strain the sauce into a large container.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Split French rolls and line them open face up on a baking tray. Top each half with beef and top beef with 2 slices of swiss cheese.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and add French fried onions if desired. Close the sandwiches.
- Serve with the strained sauce for dipping.
- Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
