Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3- pound chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can French onion soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup dark beer of choice
- 1 bell pepper sliced
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 to 3 slices provolone cheese per sandwich
- Hoagie rolls
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Sear the roast.
- Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Season the chuck roast evenly with salt and black pepper. Place the roast in the hot skillet and sear on all sides for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until well browned.
Prepare the cooking liquid.
- In the Instant Pot or slow cooker, combine the Worcestershire sauce, dark beer, French onion soup, and beef broth. Stir until blended.
Cook the beef.
- Add the seared roast to the cooking liquid. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender. If using a slow cooker, cook on high for about 6 hours, or until the roast can be easily shredded or sliced.
Add the vegetables.
- During the final hour of cooking, add the sliced bell pepper and chopped onion to the pot. Continue cooking until the vegetables are softened and flavorful.
Toast the rolls.
- When the beef is finished cooking, lightly toast the hoagie rolls in the oven, with butter if desired, until warmed and lightly crisp.
Prepare the beef for serving.
- Remove the roast from the pot and slice or shred the meat into sandwich-sized portions.
Assemble the sandwiches.
- Fill each toasted hoagie roll with the cooked beef. Top with the softened peppers and onions, then add 2 to 3 slices of provolone cheese.
Melt the cheese, if desired.
- For a more melted finish, place the assembled sandwiches under the broiler briefly until the provolone is softened and melted.
Serve.
- Serve the sandwiches warm.
