Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Gravy
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups beef broth
For Serving
  • 6 hoagie rolls split

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Place the beef chuck roast in the slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Shred the beef using two forks.
  5. Strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan, discarding any solids. You should have about 2 cups of liquid.
  6. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
  7. Gradually whisk in the strained beef liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Return the shredded beef to the thickened gravy and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
  9. Spoon the beef and gravy mixture into the split hoagie rolls to serve.

Notes

You can toast your hoagie rolls under the broiler for a few minutes before filling them for extra texture.
