Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub generously with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  3. Transfer the seared roast to the Crockpot. Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour over the roast.
  4. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours until the beef shreds easily.
  5. Remove the roast, let it rest, and then shred the beef with two forks. Return to the Crockpot.
  6. Slice hoagie rolls in half. Optionally broil with provolone cheese for 1-2 minutes until toasty.
  7. Assemble sandwiches with shredded beef in the rolls, serve with au jus for dipping.
