Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the 2-pound beef chuck roast on all sides with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Sear the beef roast for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides.
Remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Sauté the sliced onions in the same skillet for about 5 minutes until tender and caramelized.
Return the seared beef to the skillet, then pour in beef broth and soy sauce, stirring gently to combine.
Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil, then place it in the preheated oven to roast for approximately 3-4 hours.
After roasting, let the beef rest for a few minutes and then shred it using two forks.
Preheat your broiler to high.
Cut the baguette into 4 pieces and slice each piece in half lengthwise.
Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on one half of each baguette piece.
Broil the baguette halves for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling shredded beef onto the cheese-topped baguette halves.
Pour the remaining cooking liquid into small bowls to serve as a dipping sauce.
Serve with horseradish sauce on the side if desired.

Perfect for gatherings, enjoy the rich flavors and comforting experience of this homemade sandwich.
