Preparation

Step 1

Over medium-high heat, heat olive oil in a large pot or skillet. While oil is heating, sprinkle all sides of the roast with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot, carefully place the roast in the pan and sear it on all sides. (NOTE: This process shouldn't take more than a few minutes. You're only browning the outside of the roast, not trying to cook it through).



Transfer the browned roast to your slow cooker. Sprinkle the onion soup mixes over the roast and add water and beef broth.

Cook on HIGH for 4-6 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours. When the meat shreds easily with a fork, shred the entire roast.

Serve on sliced crusty rolls with a slice of Swiss cheese. If desired, you can toast them before serving by broiling them in the oven for a minute or two.


Serve with the juices from the slow cooker as the au jus sauce for dipping.
