Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the French bread horizontally; place the bottom half in a baking dish.
Step 2: Layer the Goodness
Evenly layer the roast beef over the bread, followed by the provolone cheese slices.
Step 3: Make the Au Jus
In a saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and pepper. Simmer until heated through. Remove from heat.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
Pour the au jus sauce over the cheese. Top with the remaining bread slice. Brush with melted butter.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown. Let cool slightly before garnishing with parsley and serving in squares.
