Total Time: 8 hrs 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 3 1/2-4 lbs roast
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 beef bouillon cube, i use better than bouillon beef base, just follow directions on jar
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 -4 peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 6 hoagie rolls or 6 crusty french bread

Recipe

• 1 place, the trimmed of fat, roast in the crock pot.
• 2 in a separate bowl, combine: soy sauce, bouillon cube or the better than broth, bay leaf, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder.
• 3 pour this broth you just mixed up over the roast.
• 4 add water to the crock pot until it is almost covered.
• 5 cook covered on low heat for at least 7 to 8 hours or until the roast is very tender.
• 6 remove the roast, reserving the broth.
• 7 remove the bay leaf from the broth and toss.
• 8 you can either shred the roast or just slice it thinly. if slicing, slice against the grain for tenderness.
• 9 layer the roast in the rolls, as much roast or as little as you want. sometimes i tear some of the center of the roll out so it's not too thick.
• 10 serve the reserved broth for dipping your sandwich inches.
• 11 just a note: you might have to tweak some of these seasonings to your taste. we didn't like the rosemary at first, so i went lighter on it, now we love it. this recipe is super easy and delish!
