Instructions

Crockpot Shredded Beef

Put the beef roast, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, mushrooms and salt into a large slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or low for 5-6 hours.
Turn off heat and let the roast rest for 10-15 minutes. Remove and shred with two forks.
Refrigerate or freeze in 1-2 cup portions (recipe makes about 8), and use for sandwiches, tacos, salads, main dishes, etc. to make meals throughout the week easier. Reserve liquid to use in soups or stews — it's delicious!

How to Make Chipotle Roast Beef Sandwiches

In a small saucepan, add all au jus ingredients: beef broth or juice from cooked roast, peppercorns, bay leaf, rosemary. Let au jus cook on medium heat until it reaches a boil, then turn it on low to simmer while the sandwich cooks.
Preheat the oven to a low broil. On a baking sheet, lay all 8 slices of bread. Place in the oven until toasted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each piece.
In a small bowl, mix the Swiss cheese with chipotle peppers & sauce with a fork. Spoon cheese mixture onto 4 of the bread slices, putting about 3 tablespoons on each.
Divide shredded beef onto the other 4 pieces of toasted bread. Place back in the oven to let the cheese melt, about 2-4 minutes.
Remove, letting cool a minute, then put each of the four sandwiches together. Remove au jus and pour into 4 individual dipping containers. Slice the sandwiches and serve with dip.
