Ingredients
- 2.5-3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup beef stock
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 2 medium onions - white or yellow
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
- 1-2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Season chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large pan or dutch oven to a high heat.
- Add oil and then the chuck roast. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving the roast until browned.
- Flip the chuck roast over and brown the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the pan and rub with mustard.
- Place the roast in the slow cooker on top of half of the sliced onions and garlic. Cover the roast with the remaining onions and garlic.
- Without washing the mustard off of the roast, pour in the beef stock, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and add the bay leaves.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours until the meat easily separates, and is fork tender. Taste au jus to check if additional salt and pepper is desired.
- Toast lightly buttered buns, baguettes, or French bread topped with cheese of choice in the oven until the bread is warm and the cheese is melty.
- Pile buns high with shredded beef and onions. Serve with au jus along side for dipping.
