Tender slow-cooked beef chuck roast served on soft slider rolls with rich dipping jus, perfect for cozy gatherings and casual meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 soft dinner rolls or small buns
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. (Optional) Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until a crust forms. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
  3. Spread the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic over and around the roast in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast. Sprinkle dried thyme on top.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easily shredded. Add a splash of water or broth if the liquid reduces too much.
  6. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the broth to soak up the juices.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the rolls in half horizontally. Brush the insides with melted butter. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes until golden and slightly crisp.
  8. Pile shredded beef onto the toasted rolls. Add half a slice of Swiss cheese if using, then place the top bun over it.
  9. Ladle some of the flavorful broth into small bowls for dipping and serve.

Notes

Searing the roast before slow cooking adds extra flavor but is optional. Toasting the rolls with butter prevents sogginess. Save some broth for reheating leftovers to keep beef moist. For gooey cheese, broil assembled sliders 1-2 minutes before serving. Skim excess fat from broth if desired.
