Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let sit.
  2. Optionally, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides for 3-4 minutes until browned. Transfer to the Crockpot.
  3. Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl. Pour over seasoned roast in the Crockpot.
  4. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours.
  5. After cooking, let the roast rest for 5 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks and return it to the broth.
  6. Slice hoagie rolls in half. Optionally layer provolone cheese and broil for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Assemble each roll with shredded beef and au jus. Garnish with parsley and serve.
