- Place the sliced onions on top of the beef. Add in the beef consommé, beef broth, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke if you wish, Dijon mustard and thyme. Stir everything together.
- Lock the lid on top. Close the vent to prevent steam. Manually set it for 40 minutes. When finished, release the steam before removing the lid.
- Shred or break up the beef with two forks then use a large slotted spoon to remove the beef and onions from liquid.
- Lightly toast the slider buns in the oven. Mix the mayonnaise and horseradish together in a bowl.
- Prepare a sandwich by spreading the mayo mix on each side of the bun. Add some slices of provolone cheese, then add about a ½ cup of the beef. Ladle some of the liquid from the pot into a small bowl to use for dipping.
- Allow leftovers to cool and store the beef and broth separate in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
**Slow Cooker Instructions - Do not cut up the beef. Leave the roast whole. In a large skillet on the stove, melt the butter. Season the roast with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Use a large meat fork or tongs to turn the roast till all sides are browned. Place the browned roast in the slow cooker. Place the rest of the ingredients over the beef. Onions through thyme. (Obviously not the buns and mayo etc.) Slow cook on High for 5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours. Resume with step 4 in the above instructions.
