  2. Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for 8 to 10 hours until the beef is tender enough to shred.
  3. Once the cooking time is complete, remove the roast from the crockpot and shred the beef using two forks.
  4. Prepare your hoagie rolls by slicing them and filling them generously with the shredded beef.

  5. Top the beef with slices of provolone cheese. For the best results, place the open-faced sandwiches under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is toasted.

  6. Ladle the remaining liquid from the crockpot into small bowls to serve as Au Jus. Season with salt and pepper to taste and dip your sandwiches into the broth before every bite.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze the beef and broth for later use. For a thicker dipping sauce, stir a cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker liquid before serving.
