  3. In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef in the crockpot.
Cooking

  2. When ready, shred the beef using two forks right in the crockpot so it absorbs all the delicious juices.

  2. Slice the hoagie rolls and load them with a generous portion of shredded beef, then top with a slice of provolone cheese.
  3. Arrange the sandwiches on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
  4. Serve hot with a bowl of warm au jus for dipping.
