• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Pat the beef chuck roast completely dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning.
2. Heat golden extra virgin olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear the beef for 4-5 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms, resisting the urge to move it during searing.
4. Transfer the beef to a plate and add thinly sliced yellow onions to the pot.
5. Cook onions for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized at the edges.
6. Add minced aromatic garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
7. Pour in full-bodied red wine, scraping all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
8. Simmer the wine for 3 minutes until reduced by half, concentrating the flavors.
9. Return the seared beef to the pot along with any accumulated juices.
10. Add rich beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, fresh bay leaves, and freshly cracked black pepper.
11. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then cover and transfer to a 300°F oven for 3-4 hours until the beef shreds easily with a fork.
12. Remove the beef from the cooking liquid and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing against the grain.
13. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve to create a clear, polished jus.
14. Slice the crusty French baguettes lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.

16. Toast the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
17. Serve immediately with individual bowls of warm jus for dipping.

Succulent beef melts against the crisp baguette, while the provolone provides a creamy counterpoint to the robust jus. Each dip enhances the experience, softening the bread just enough without compromising its structural integrity. Consider serving with cornichons and Dijon mustard to cut through the richness, creating a perfect balance of flavors that honors both French technique and American indulgence.

10. Cover with the top halves of the baguettes and slice each sandwich into manageable portions. Tip: Use a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion to prevent crushing the delicate bread structure.

Each dip into the aromatic broth releases waves of sweet onion and savory beef flavors that coat the palate beautifully.
