Ingredients

  • For the Beef:
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Sandwiches:
  • 8 slices brioche bread
  • 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or more to taste)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Butter (for toasting bread)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Add beef, onion, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours until beef is tender.
  2. Shred the Beef: Remove beef and shred with two forks. Return to the slow cooker to soak up juices while preparing the bread.
  3. Toast the Bread: Lightly butter each brioche slice and toast in a skillet or oven until golden and crisp.
  4. Assemble: Place shredded beef on toasted bread, top with cheddar cheese and red bell pepper slices. Broil for 1–2 minutes until cheese melts.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve open-faced or with a top slice of brioche.

Notes

  • Searing the beef before slow cooking adds flavor but is optional.
  • Add jalapeños or cayenne for spice.
  • Swap cheddar with provolone or mozzarella if preferred.
  • Use ciabatta or French bread for a sturdier sandwich base.
  • Serve with slaw, fries, or salad for a full meal.
