Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the beef chuck roast generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dry thyme, and dried rosemary.
  4. Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 8-10 minutes until browned on all sides.
  5. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Sauté sliced onions in the same skillet for about 5 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  7. Return the seared beef to the skillet, then pour in the beef broth and soy sauce.
  8. Cover and roast in the oven for 3-4 hours until tender and shreds easily.
  9. Let the beef rest for 5-10 minutes before shredding.
  10. Preheat the broiler to high.
  11. Cut the baguette in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet. Top each half with provolone cheese.
  12. Broil the baguette halves for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Assemble the sandwich by piling shredded beef on the cheesy baguette halves and serve with the dipping sauce.
