Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Jalapeño peppers, sliced
• 6 pieces Hoagie rolls
• 6 pieces Provolone cheese slices
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Massage the spices into the meat on all sides.

Step 2

Place the seasoned roast in the crock pot.

Step 3

Add the beef broth, hot sauce, and tomato paste to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine the liquids without washing the seasoning off the meat.

Step 4

Scatter the diced onion and sliced jalapeño peppers around and over the beef in the crock pot.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours (or on high heat for 4 hours) until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 6

Carefully remove the cooked beef from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks, discarding any excess fat.

Step 7

Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the juices to ensure it stays moist and flavorful. Let it sit on the warm setting while prepping the sandwiches.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the hoagie rolls in half and lightly butter each side.

Step 9

Toast the hoagie rolls in the oven for 3-5 minutes until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches: Place a generous portion of shredded beef onto the bottom half of each toasted hoagie roll.

Step 11

Top the beef with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the open sandwiches back in the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

Step 12

Complete the sandwiches by adding the top halves of the hoagie rolls. Serve immediately, optionally with additional hot sauce or pickled jalapeños on the side.
