  4. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is tender.
  5. Remove the roast from the Crockpot, shred with two forks, and return to the juices.
  6. Slice the hoagie rolls open, toast if desired, and add provolone cheese to melt.
  7. Fill the rolls with shredded beef and serve with au jus for dipping. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley.
