Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it into your slow cooker.
Add the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, onion powder, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
Stir the liquid gently to combine the seasonings, ensuring the roast is covered in the broth mixture.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Strain the cooking liquid into a heat-proof bowl to remove any solids, reserving the liquid as au jus for dipping.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Split the hoagie rolls and place them on a baking sheet. Layer shredded beef and a slice of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
Bake the sandwiches in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread is slightly toasted.
Serve the sandwiches warm with a small bowl of reserved au jus for dipping.
