Directions

  1. 1.

    In a slow cooker, add one medium onion (roughly chopped), eleven cloves of garlic, four sprigs of rosemary, one cup of red wine, two cups of beef stock, two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and two tablespoons of soy sauce.

  2. 2.

    Get a three to four pound chuck roast, pat it dry with a paper towel, season it with salt, and brown it in a pan on medium heat.

  3. 3.

    Add the roast to the slow cooker and season generously on both sides with beef bouillon powder, salt, and pepper, and granulated garlic.

  4. 4.

    Cook on low for eight hours.

  5. 5.

    While the beef is cooking, make caramelized onions by adding five tablespoons of butter to a pan on medium-low heat along with five medium onions cut into half moons.

  6. 6.

    Cook for about one hour, stirring frequently and seasoning with salt and pepper.

  7. 7.

    Once the beef is done, separate it from the liquid, shred it in a bowl, and stir in the caramelized onions.

  8. 8.

    Strain the juice from the slow cooker and set it aside (this is the au jus).

  9. 9.

    Make a spread by combining a half cup of mayo, three tablespoons of cream style horseradish, and salt and pepper to taste.

  10. 10.

    Cut a large French baguette in half, add the spread, beef, and Swiss cheese.

  11. 11.

    Close the baguette, cover it tightly with foil, and bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

  12. 12.

    Cut into small sandwiches and serve with the au jus.
