Season the beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, sliced thinly, to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to create a light roux.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.
Return the seared beef to the pot, making sure it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cover with a lid and simmer on low heat for 2.5-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and falling apart.
Remove the beef from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir it into the gravy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Cut the French bread into sandwich-sized portions, then slice each piece lengthwise, leaving one side attached to form a hinge.
Spread mayonnaise generously on the inside of the bread. Layer shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and the sloppy roast beef with plenty of gravy.
Serve warm and enjoy your New Orleans-style sloppy roast beef poboy!
