Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup sliced pickles
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pot and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beef broth, water, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the pot. Bring to a boil.
- Return the beef to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven and transfer the beef to a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and line each roll with a slice of provolone cheese.
- Place the rolls in the oven under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brush it onto the toasted rolls.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
- Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on the bottom halves of the hoagie rolls.
- Layer the sliced beef on top of the mayo-mustard mixture, followed by the caramelized onions and sliced pickles.
- Serve the beef dip sandwiches with a side of au jus for dipping.
- Enjoy the deliciousness!
