# How to Make It:
01 -
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub the roast evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
02 -
Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, if desired, to enhance the depth of flavor.
03 -
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the crock pot. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.
04 -
Place the seasoned beef roast atop the onions. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is tender and shreds effortlessly.
05 -
Remove the roast from the crock pot and shred the meat using two forks, discarding large pieces of fat.
06 -
Slice the hoagie rolls and layer the shredded beef onto each roll. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the hot beef.
07 -
If desired, position assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 -
Spoon the cooking liquid from the crock pot into small bowls and serve as a dip alongside each sandwich.
# Extra Suggestions:

For a richer flavor, sear the beef roast before slow cooking. Serve sandwiches immediately for the best texture and dipped experience.
