Time 4h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 beef chuck roast (about 2 1/2-pounds), trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for searing
2 medium onions, chopped
8 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Few dashes Thai hot sauce, optional
2 cups onion or beef broth
French bread, sliced lengthwise, for serving
Soft herb-flavored cheese, for serving (recommended: Boursin)

Steps:

  • Special equipment: stoneware slow cooker
  • Cook's Note: If you do not have a stoneware slow cooker that doubles as both a saute pan and Dutch oven, saute everything in a pan, then place into the slow cooker to cook.
  • Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in the sleeve to the slow cooker on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear until brown on all sides. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Thai hot sauce and broth. Place the sleeve in the slow cooker and turn the slow cooker to its lowest setting. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, until the meat begins to fall apart with the pull of a fork.
  • Remove the meat from the slow cooker and slice the beef into 1/4- inch slices or shred it, depending on your preference. Ladle off the fat from the top of the jus and discard. Reserve the jus from the pot. Slather both sides of the French bread with the cheese and top with some of the beef and the onions from the pot. Serve with a side bowl of the jus.

This recipe is a winner! The beef was cooked perfectly and the au jus was delicious. I served it with a side of French fries and it was a perfect meal. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The beef is always tender and juicy, and the au jus is perfect. I like to serve it with a side of crispy onion rings, and it's always a crowd-pleaser.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The beef was fall-apart tender and the au jus was flavorful. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The beef was so tender and juicy, and the au jus was perfect. I served it with provolone cheese and caramelized onions, and it was a huge hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not a big fan of French dip sandwiches, but this recipe changed my mind. The beef was cooked to perfection and the au jus was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party. The beef was so tender and flavorful, and the au jus was perfect for dipping the sandwiches. I will definitely be making this again.
