    Recipe preparation

    Essential Ingredients

    Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

    • Beef Roast: A well-marbled roast gives you juicy meat; I prefer chuck for its rich flavor.

    • Onions: Sweet onions caramelize beautifully and add depth; yellow onions work well too.

    • Garlic: Fresh cloves elevate the flavor profile; don’t skimp on this aromatic delight.

    • Beef Broth: Use low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness; it’s essential for moistening.

    • Sandwich Rolls: Choose hearty rolls that can hold up against the filling without falling apart.

    For Toppings:

    • Sliced Cheese: Melting cheese takes these sandwiches over the top; provolone or cheddar are fantastic choices.

    • Horseradish Sauce: A dollop adds a spicy kick that perfectly complements the savory beef.

    The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

    Let’s Make it Together

    Prepping your ingredients is key to a smooth cooking experience.

    Gather Your Ingredients: Start by assembling all your ingredients on the countertop. Having everything in reach makes cooking much easier and more enjoyable.

    Sear the Beef Roast: Heat some oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and deliciously aromatic.

    Add Aromatics: Toss in sliced onions and minced garlic after browning the beef. Sauté until onions turn translucent and fill your kitchen with mouthwatering scents.

    Pour in Broth: Transfer everything into a slow cooker or Dutch oven. Pour enough beef broth until it covers half of the roast—this will keep it moist during cooking.

    Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until fork-tender. The longer, the better—the flavors meld beautifully!

    Shred & Serve!: Once cooked, shred the beef using two forks right inside your pot. Pile generous amounts onto toasted sandwich rolls, top with cheese, and if you’re feeling adventurous, slather some horseradish sauce on top.

    Now you’re ready to enjoy these mouthwatering beef sandwiches! Just don’t forget to take a picture before devouring them—your Instagram followers will thank you!
