Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 sandwich rolls or crusty bread, halved
• Butter, for spreading

How to Make Cheesy Pulled Beef Sandwich

1. Start by seasoning the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin. Make sure to coat it evenly.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
3. Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
5. Return the beef to the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreddable. Alternatively, you can cook it in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours.
6. Once the beef is cooked, shred it using two forks and mix it with the juices in the skillet. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Preheat your broiler. Spread butter on the cut sides of the sandwich rolls and place them butter-side up on a baking sheet.
8. Layer the shredded beef evenly on the bottom half of each roll, then top with two slices of cheddar cheese.
9. Broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning!
10. Remove from the oven, close the sandwiches, and serve hot.
