Instructions
Season the chuck roast real good with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chuck roast on all sides.
Transfer the roast over to the crockpot and scoop onions and minced garlic around it.
Add Worcestershire sauce, pour in beer, sprinkle Au Jus mix, and add beef broth.
Seal the lid and set the cooker to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Do a slow release of pressure, then shred the beef right in the crockpot.
Scoop beef onto sub rolls, top with provolone, and serve with au jus for dipping.
Notes
If you prefer not to use beer, you can use more beef broth instead.
