Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion, sliced

- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 8 sandwich rolls, toasted
How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Sandwich
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step enhances the flavor.
- Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce on top of the roast.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth. Stir the creamy sauce into the shredded beef in the slow cooker until well combined.
- Serve the shredded beef on toasted sandwich rolls, ensuring each sandwich is generously filled with the creamy beef mixture.
Tips for the Best Results
- For added depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the slow cooker alongside the beef broth.
- Don’t skip the searing step; it locks in the juices and boosts the overall flavor of the dish.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference; feel free to add more spices or herbs if desired.
Easy Variations
- For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a few dashes of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Swap out the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter creamy sauce option.
- Try using different types of rolls, like ciabatta or hoagie, for a different texture.
What to Serve With It
- Potato chips or fries for a crunchy side
- A fresh green salad to balance the richness of the sandwich
- Coleslaw for a refreshing contrast
- Pickles or jalapeños for added flavor
