Method

Meat Preparation

  1. 1

    Braise the Beef

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, place the beef shoulder and short ribs. Season with salt and pepper. Add enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 3-4 hours until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

  2. 2

    Shred the Meat

    Once the meat is tender, remove from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the beef with two forks, discarding any bones and excess fat.

Au Jus Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Au Jus

    In a separate saucepan, combine beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sandwich

    Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the roll. Layer the shredded beef, followed by a slice of provolone cheese, lettuce, and sliced tomato.

  2. 5

    Serve with Au Jus

    Serve the prepared sandwiches with a small bowl of au jus on the side for dipping.
