15 Italian Beef Sandwich With Au Jus Recipe They're Simply Irresistible!

Ingredients:

• 1 (3-4 pound) beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 envelope dry Italian dressing mix
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 8 hoagie rolls
• Giardiniera (pickled vegetables) for topping
• 8 slices of provolone cheese

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, and salt to taste. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned beef to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2: Add the Liquid and Seasonings

Once the beef is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add beef broth, water, dry Italian dressing mix, and any remaining seasonings. Stir to combine and bring the liquid to a simmer.

Step 3: Slow Cook the Beef

Return the beef to the pot and cover it with a lid. Place the pot in the preheated oven and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

Once the beef is fully cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Slice the hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. On one half of the roll, add a layer of shredded beef and top with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5: Serve with Au Jus and Giardiniera

Remove the sandwiches from the oven and top them with a spoonful of giardiniera. Serve the sandwiches with a side of the au jus from the pot for dipping. Enjoy your delicious and authentic Italian Beef Sandwiches!
