Ingredients

Beef:

• 2 lb beef shanks or chuck
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
• 2 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 Tbsp Salt, or to taste
• 1 large onion, slices
• 5-10 baby carrots
• 1 quart (4 cups) chicken or beef broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cinnamon stick

Sandwich Sauce:

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup whole mustard
• 1-2 Tbsp horseradish
• 1/4 cup chives, chopped fine
• 1 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp corn starch

To assemble:

• 8 rolls (French baguette or hoagie suggested)
• cheese
• hot peppers of choice

Instructions

1. Coat the beef with olive oil, then season on both sides with garlic powder, pepper, paprika, oregano, onion powder and salt. Preheat a large pot over high heat. Sear beef for 1 minute on both sides till nicely browned .
2. Add onions and carrots and continue to cook on high heat till the vegetables have softened slightly, about 3 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Add bay leaf and cinnamon stick, then bring heat down to low. Simmer for 2 hours.
3. While the beef cooks, make the sandwich spread in a small bowl by combining mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish and chives till fully mixed.
4. Make au jus by straining beef stock and drippings from the beef cooking mixture. Transfer the liquid to a sauce pan and add cornstarch slurry. Whisk over medium high heat till the au jus thickens slightly then remove from the heat and set aside.
5. For the sandwich, shred cooked beef by hand and place in a large bowl. Pour in 1 cup of the au jus. To assemble the sandwich, cut the rolls open and place them on a baking sheet. Top each roll with beef, spoon on au jus, top with 3 slices of provolone cheese.
6. Toast in the oven under the broiler on high for about 2 minutes until the cheese melts. Watch closely so the cheese doesn’t burn! Place the sandwich spread on the other half of the bread, then top the sandwich.
7. Serve the sandwiches warm with hot peppers and the au jus for dipping.
