Step 1

Place the sliced beef, onion powder, garlic powder, au jus mix, brown gravy mix, and water into the crockpot insert and give it a quick stir.

Step 2

Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours, or low for 6-8 hours, or until beef is fork tender.

Step 3

Stir the beef, and add salt and pepper taste (I used 1/2 tsp each).

Step 4

Serve on toasted hoagie rolls with melted cheese. You can also just serve it on its own, with sides of your choice (like…veggies, bread rolls, rice, potatoes).

Step 5

Preheat the broiler on HIGH. (You can also bake the rolls, see notes.)

Step 6

Place open hoagie rolls on a foil-lined baking sheet (butter the inside if desired.)

Step 7

Broil for about 1-2 minutes, or until insides are lightly browned. (Watch carefully to not burn!)

Step 8

Remove the tray from the oven. Take the top buns off each roll, remove them from the tray and set aside.

Step 9

Place beef strips on top of each bottom roll, then top with sliced provolone.

Step 10

Broil until cheese is melted (about 1 minute). Remove from oven, and place the top bun on.

Step 11

Serve each beef sandwich with a side of au jus gravy sauce from the crockpot for dipping.
