This dish features slow-cooked beef chuck roast seared and cooked in broth with dry onion soup mix, developing rich, tender flavors. The beef is shredded and piled high on crusty rolls, crowned with melted Swiss or provolone cheese. The sandwiches are finished under the broiler to toast the bread and melt the cheese, served alongside the savory cooking juices for dipping. This simple process brings together deep, hearty flavors with a satisfying texture, perfect for an easy yet indulgent meal.
