Serving

  2. Toast the hoagie rolls until golden.
  3. Fill each roll with shredded beef and top with a slice of melted Provolone cheese.

Notes

If you have leftovers, cool the beef fully and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months. For enhanced flavor, allow the sandwich fillings to sit in the au jus before serving. Creative twists include using different cheeses like Gruyere or pepper jack, or substituting shredded chicken for beef.
