Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
3. In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
4. Add the beef roast to the pot and sear it on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
5. Once browned, carefully remove the beef roast from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
6. In the same pot, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is softened and fragrant.
7. Pour in the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and additional salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
8. Return the seared beef roast to the pot, ensuring it is immersed in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
9. Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
10. Once cooked, remove the beef roast from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
11. While the beef rests, slice the crusty bread rolls in half lengthwise.
12. Layer the sliced beef on the bottom half of each roll and serve with a small bowl of the flavorful au jus for dipping.
