Instructions
1. Prepare the Beef:
- Pat the chuck roast dry and season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and oregano.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
2. Slow Cook the Beef:
- Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker. Add sliced onions and minced garlic.
- Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
3. Shred the Beef:
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
- Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and mix it with the juices for extra flavor.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Toast the sandwich buns if desired.
- Pile the shredded beef onto each bun. Add cheese, pickles, or coleslaw if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can make this in an Instant Pot (Pressure Cook on HIGH for 60 minutes, then do a natural release for 15 minutes).
- Add BBQ sauce for a smoky, tangy twist!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
