1
Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, heat a grill pan over high heat.
5
When the pan is hot, split the buns in half and place them on the pan, cut side down.

Allow the buns to char a little, about 1 to 2 minutes.
7
Remove the buns from the grill pan and set them aside.
8
Combine the beef broth, chicken broth, and sliced roast beef in a medium saute pan, using a fork to separate the roast beef slices.
9
Heat the beef gently over medium heat until the broth is hot but not boiling.

Drain the beef, reserving the broth.

Divide the beef among the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
