Description

Juicy, fork-tender shredded beef sandwiches made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for gatherings or weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs beef Tri-tip roast
  • 2 Tbsp Montreal steak seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • Hoagie Rolls
  • Caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms (optional)
  • Sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • Reserved juices from slow-cooked beef for dipping

Instructions

  1. Season beef all over with Montreal steak seasoning and press it into the meat.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the meat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. In a slow cooker, add beef broth, Worcestershire, onion powder, garlic powder, and rosemary.
  4. Set the meat into the juice and turn to coat it, placing it fat-side up.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until easily shredded with a fork.
  6. Transfer beef to a bowl and shred with forks, discarding excess fat.
  7. Strain the cooking liquid and keep it as a dipping sauce.
  8. Add shredded beef back to the slow cooker with some of the reserved liquid.
  9. Toast hoagie rolls, pile on the beef, add onions or mushrooms if using, and a slice of cheese.
  10. Broil assembled sandwiches for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese and crisp the roll.

Notes

Serve with reserved jus for dipping and consider adding a topping bar for extra flair.
