Heat olive oil in a heavy ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Brown the roast on all sides, 3–4 minutes per side, to build flavor; remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add smashed garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the red wine to deglaze, scraping up browned bits from the bottom — that's where the heart of the flavor is. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2–3 minutes.
Return roast to the pot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaf, and Dijon if using. The liquid should come about halfway up the roast; add a touch more broth if needed.
Bring to a gentle simmer on the stove, then cover and transfer to the oven. Braise until fork-tender, about 2 hours (check at 1½ hours — you want it easily shreddable but not dry).
When done, remove roast to a cutting board and tent with foil to rest 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface of the cooking liquid; discard bay leaf and thyme stem. Slice or shred the beef thinly against the grain, keeping it moist.
Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer to concentrate if needed, tasting and seasoning with salt, pepper, and a splash more Worcestershire or Dijon to brighten. This is your au jus — keep it warm.
Butter the insides of the rolls and toast in a skillet or under the broiler until golden. Pile warm beef onto the rolls, top with provolone, and warm briefly until the cheese melts (a quick flash under the broiler or cover the pan).
Serve each sandwich with a small bowl of au jus for dipping. Take a breath and enjoy — a rainy day deserves this kind of comfort.
