  • 2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger

For the Pickled Veggies

  • 3 carrots shredded
  • 1 cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion sliced into half circles
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

For the Sriracha Mayo

Instructions

For the Beef

  • Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker or Instant Pot.
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
  • Pour over the beef.
  • In the SLOW COOKER: cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Once done, remove from the slow cooker and shred the beef.
  • In the INSTANT POT: Cook on high pressure for 75 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes and then release completely. Shred the beef.
  • Assemble the sandwiches

For the Pickled Veggies

  • Place the carrots, red onion, and cucumbers in a mason jar or large glass tupperware.
  • Add the water, vinegar, and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for about 3-4 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
  • Pour the mixture over the veggies and let sit for at least 30 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Sriracha Mayo

  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo and Sriracha

To serve:

  • Spread ~2 tablespoon of the Sriracha mayonnaise on each Hoagie roll.
  • Top with shredded beef, pickled veggies, and fresh cilantro.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • The Sriracha mayonnaise and pickled vegetables can be prepped up to a few days in advance. They will keep well in the refrigerator in airtight containers. 
  • Use leftover pickled vegetables on rice bowls or tacos!
