Ingredients
1 lb beef roast (such as sirloin or ribeye)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups beef broth
1/2 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4-6 French rolls
6-8 slices provolone cheese
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Season the beef roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef roast to the pot and sear on all sides until it develops a nice brown crust.
Remove the beef roast from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
Add the sliced onion and garlic to the pot. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Return the beef roast to the pot, making sure it is submerged in the liquid.
Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Roast the beef for 2-3 hours, or until it is fork-tender and falls apart easily.
Remove the beef from the pot and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly.
Strain the liquid from the pot into a separate saucepan. Heat the liquid over medium heat until it reduces and thickens slightly.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice the French rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet. Toast the rolls in the oven for a few minutes until they are lightly golden.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a few slices of beef on the bottom half of each roll. Top the beef with a slice of provolone cheese.
Place the sandwiches in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the sandwiches with the reduced cooking liquid on the side for dipping.
