Ingredients
Scale
- For the Roast Beef:
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Add sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, black pepper, salt, and thyme.

- Slice the French rolls in half and toast them lightly if desired.
- Assemble the Po’ Boys by placing a generous amount of shredded beef on the bottom half of each roll, topping with pickles and a dollop of horseradish.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
