3-4poundsbeef round steak(or any type of beef roast)
1packetonion soup mix
1packetau jus seasoning
15ouncecan of beef broth or stock
½cupwater
6slicesmozzarella or provolone cheesefor serving
6sub rollsfor serving
Instructions
This step is optional but adds great flavor. In a hot pan with a little oil, brown both sides of the 3-4 pounds beef round steak. Don't cook it all the way through, just brown each side really well in the hot skillet.
Put browned beef roast into an oval slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 packet onion soup mix, 1 packet au jus seasoning, 15 ounce can of beef broth or stock and ½ cup water and stir until combined.
Pour mixture over beef, put cover on slow cooker and cook on low for about 8 hours.
An hour before serving, shred meat with two forks or take it out and slice thinly.
Place meat back in the slow cooker for about another hour.
When ready to serve, place 6 sub rolls (open faced) on a baking sheet. Top one side of each sub roll with some of the shredded beef. Then take your 6 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese and place them on top of the beef.
Turn on your oven broiler. Place baking sheet in the oven and broil until cheese is melted and buns are toasted (note, please keep an eye as it broils because it can burn very quickly.)
Serve sandwich with a bit of Au Jus from the slow cooker and enjoy! Note: you may want to strain the sauce in your slow cooker before serving.

Notes
Optional toppings include onions, green peppers and mushrooms.
We also enjoy adding some mayonnaise to our buns.
Also, instead of the water, you can substitute with more beef stock if you like.
