Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub the roast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Transfer the seared beef to the Crockpot, ensuring it's positioned comfortably for even cooking.
  4. In a bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Mix well and pour over the beef.
  5. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours.
  6. After cooking, let the beef rest for 5 minutes. Shred the beef into bite-sized pieces in the Crockpot.
  7. Slice the hoagie rolls open and toast if desired. Optionally melt provolone cheese on top.
  8. Assemble the sandwiches with shredded beef and serve with warm au jus. Garnish with parsley if desired.
