3 cloves garlic, minced

So I could not find a roast that was 4 pounds to save my life...OK I bought a roast at the second store I went to cause I was tired and didn't want to keep looking. So I ended up with a roast that was a little shy of 3 pounds. I took 3 cloves of garlic to my mini grater and then gave the roast a massage with it. I put the rosemary and bay leaves in cheesecloth so that we wouldn't be picking rosemary out of our teeth for days! I read the reviews on the recipe and bought low sodium soy sauce because some people were complaining that it was too salty and I am glad that I did! So with a smaller roast than what the recipe called for my roast was completely submerged in liquid and honestly I think that was a good thing for this recipe as the flavour really got into the meat. I was hesitant that so few ingredients would result in bland meat and jus but WOW this was flavour packed!
For the aioli I left out the salt as well and made it the night before. My boyfriend is really sensitive to salt so I try to be mindful of that when cooking for him. It was amazingly tasty! I did listen to reviews on this one as well and did NOT taste it right after making it because it would be overwhelmed by the lemon juice. Even the picky teenager liked the aioli!!!
I split hot dog buns and spread aioli on both sides, then added my meat and sauteed onions and mushrooms then topped with sliced mozzarella cheese and put it under the broiler for a few minutes to get it all melty. Man what an amazing meal!!!
So my two little caveats! #1 chances are really good you'll end up with shredded beef like I did not actual slices of meat. I was fine with that as I know that's how most slow cooker recipes turn out. I'd rather have shredded beef with more flavour than nice slices with less flavour. #2 you will have a TON of jus leftover! We had enough for 11 sandwiches in total between two dinners (one for 3 and one for 2 people and the kid taking one for lunch) and there was loads of liquid left. I could have saved it for soup base or something but didn't think of it before telling the kid to toss it!
I have been informed that I can make this meal again anytime!
