For the Beef

2 pounds Beef roast (e.g. chuck or brisket)

4 cups Beef broth

1 medium Onion, sliced

4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced

2 leaves Bay leaves

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp Thyme, dried

2 tbs olive oil

For the Sandwich

4 pieces French rolls or baguettes

8 slices Provolone cheese, sliced

2 tbs Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

For the Beef

Prepare the Beef

Rub the beef roast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Make sure it is evenly coated.

Sear the Roast

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cook the Roast

Transfer the beef roast to a slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, bay leaves, and beef broth. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

Shred the Beef

Once cooked, remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the beef using two forks.

Strain the Broth

Strain the remaining broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids and return to the slow cooker to keep warm.

For the Sandwich

Prepare the Rolls

While the beef is resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the French rolls or baguettes in half lengthwise.

Assemble the Sandwich

Layer the shredded beef on the bottom half of each roll. Top with two slices of provolone cheese.

Melt the Cheese

Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.

Serve with Broth

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sandwiches and serve with warm beef broth for dipping.
