Italian Beef - Slicing Before Cooking?

Im planning on making Italian Beef but will be away from home and won't have access to my slicer or an electric knife. Given how thin it should be, can I get away with having it sliced at the butcher while raw?

I think i am going to go with a chuck eye or eye of round versus a chuck roast because of this.

I assume I would then just braise it in the liquid at a lower temperature to avoid overcooking it. Losing the crust is not a huge deal to me, but are there any pitfalls I am overlooking? Would it come out too mealy?

Thanks for any help and suggestions on getting this done fairly easy without a slicer.
