Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. Season chuck roast with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then add to pot. Brown beef for 4-5 minutes on each side until a rich crust forms. Remove roast and set aside to rest.
  2. In the same pot, add chopped onions, diced red bell pepper, and diced green bell pepper, stirring often. Sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until tender and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook this mixture for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring continuously. Return the browned chuck roast to the pot, submerging it in the liquid. Increase heat to medium-high, bringing to a gentle simmer; let bubble for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Remove the roast, shred it with forks, and return to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese, continuing to stir until melted and soup thickens.
  6. Serve by hollowing out sourdough boules and ladling the soup generously into each. Garnish with additional shredded provolone and parsley.
