Place the beef chuck roast into the crock pot.
Sprinkle the dry Italian salad dressing mix evenly over the beef.
Pour the beef broth and the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers (including their juice) into the crock pot.
Add garlic powder and onion powder into the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shredded.
Remove the beef from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the crock pot and mix it with the juices.
If desired, spread butter on the inside of the hoagie rolls and toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden.
Place a generous portion of the shredded beef on each toasted hoagie roll.
Top the beef with a slice of provolone cheese and allow it to slightly melt.
Serve the sandwiches warm, with a small side of the crock pot juices for dipping, if desired.
