- Remove roast and place on a large plate or cutting board.
- Cut away and discard any unwanted fat.
- Using two forks, pull apart the beef.
- Place the shredded beef back into the au jus and keep on warm until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, lightly toast cut baguette slices in a pan over medium heat.
- Place a good helping of beef onto the bottom toasted baguette and spread out to the sides with a fork.
