Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 pounds of Chuck Roast, trimmed of fat
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 1 cup Coca-Cola (regular, not diet)
- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans Beef Consommé
- 1/4 cup minced Onion
- 1 Beef Bouillon cube (Knorrs soft cube recommended)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Pepper (PineCreek Brand or similar, or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 package Knorr’s Classic Brown Gravy mix (dry)
For Serving
- 12–14 slices Provolone or Jack Cheese
- 6–8 Sourdough rolls
Instructions
- Prepare and combine ingredients: Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast. In a large crockpot, combine the chuck roast with olive oil, soy sauce, Coca-Cola, beef consommé, minced onion, beef bouillon cube, garlic pepper, thyme, and the dry Knorr’s Classic Brown Gravy mix. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Slow cook the beef: Cook the mixture on low heat in the crockpot for 4 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the flavors to meld.
- Shred the beef: Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it thoroughly using two forks. Discard any remaining chunks of fat and bones. Return the shredded beef to the crockpot and mix well into the gravy.
- Continue cooking: Cook the shredded beef on low for an additional 2 hours to deepen the flavor and ensure tenderness.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Split the sourdough rolls and fill each with a generous amount of the shredded beef mixture. Top with two slices of provolone or jack cheese per sandwich.
- Melt the cheese and serve: Heat the sandwiches either in a microwave until the cheese melts or place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with small bowls of the warm gravy/cooking juices for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Regular Coca-Cola is used to add sweetness and tenderize the meat; avoid diet varieties as they do not offer the same effect.
- For a crispier sandwich, you may toast the sourdough rolls before assembling.
- Additional gravy can be made or added for dipping as needed to enhance moisture and flavor.
- This recipe requires about 6 hours total cook time in a slow cooker, so plan accordingly.
- Leftover sandwiches can be refrigerated and reheated with extra gravy for best results.
