Ingredients
Roast Beef
- 3 pounds chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups (16 ounces / 480 g) beef broth
Au Jus
- 2 cups (16 ounces / 480 g) beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Sandwich
- 6 hoagie rolls, sliced horizontally, toasted
- 12 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
Roast Beef
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Season the beef roast all over with the seasoning mixture.
- To a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add oil. When hot, brown the roast on all sides. Add beef broth to the pot, cover with the lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 2 to 2 ½ hours, or until the meat is very tender.
Au Jus
- After roasting the beef, transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest while you prepare the au jus.
- To the juices in the pan, add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering for an additional 15 minutes to develop flavors.
- Using a ladle or a fat separator, skim off excess fat. Then, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any solids.
Assembly
- Thinly slice or shred the roasted beef. (I had about 4 cups of meat from the roast.)
- Top each roll with 2 slices of provolone cheese. Transfer to the oven on broil to melt the cheese, 1-2 minutes, watching carefully.
- Evenly divide the meat between the hoagie rolls, on top of the melted cheese.
- Serve the sandwiches with a side of prepared au jus.
