Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Cook in Slow Cooker

    Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Add sliced onion, minced garlic, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and shreds easily.

  3. 3

    Shred the Beef

    Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the slow cooker and let it soak in the broth for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    While the beef is soaking, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the baguette or hoagie rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet. Place slices of provolone cheese on each half.

  5. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwiches

    Fill each baguette or hoagie roll with the shredded beef. Serve with a bowl of the broth for dipping.
