For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the beef roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the overall richness of the dish. If you prefer a sharper flavor, Gruyere or Swiss cheese can be used in place of provolone. Toast the hoagie rolls lightly before adding the beef and cheese for added texture and to prevent them from getting soggy. The au jus can be strained after cooking to remove any solids for a smoother dipping sauce.

Apr 16, 2025My roast was a bit tough after 6 hours on low. Next time, I'll try cooking it for a longer period or on high.
