Equipment
- baking tray optional
- slow cooker liner optional
- 2 forks to shred beef
Ingredients
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 packet french onion soup mix
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 11.2 oz bottle of beer
- 2 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 3.5 lb roast rump, eye of round or chuck
- sliced swiss cheese provolone or mozzarella would also work well
- French rolls for serving hoagie rolls and slider rolls are also great
Instructions

- in a separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients and pour over meat1 cup beef broth, 1 packet french onion soup mix, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 11.2 oz bottle of beer, 2 tablespoon chopped garlic
- cook on low for 8-10 hours.
- after at least 7 hours, remove meat and shred. I generally use two forks for this process. If you wont be serving right away, return meat to pot and keep warm in cooking juices.
- To serve: place meat on thick, crusty rolls and top with a slice of cheese
- OPTIONAL; preheat oven to 350°
- Place assembled sandwiches on a baking tray and put in preheated oven just long enough for cheese to melt
- serve with small bowl or ramekins filled with the au jus (juices) from the original pot for dipping!
