  3. Place the roast in the slow cooker, pour the tomato sauce on top, and layer with peppers, onion, and pepperoncini.
  4. Cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 5-6 hours until the beef shreds easily.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, preheat the oven to 250°F, slice the rolls and toast them for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Shred the beef and mix it with vegetables, then scoop onto toasted rolls.
  7. Melt provolone cheese over the assembled sandwiches in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
