Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

3 Tbsp. olive oil
1 (2.5-3 lb.) beef roast
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 oz.) pkg. dry onion soup mix
2 cups water
2 (14.5 oz.) cans beef broth
1 (16 oz.) pkg. Swiss cheese
Crusty buns or rolls

Heat olive oil in large pot or skillet over medium-high.  While oil is heating, sprinkle all sides of the roast with kosher salt and pepper.

When the oil is very hot, sear the roast.  Transfer the roast to a slow cooker.  Sprinkle onion soup mix over the roast and add water and beef broth.  Cook on high for 4-7 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours.  You can also cook it on high until it begins to boil and then switch the setting to low (this method makes the meat more tender).  

When the meat shreds easily with a fork, shred the roast.  Serve with crusty rolls and a slice of Swiss cheese.  If desired, you can slide these under the broiler on your oven to toast the bun and melt the cheese.
