Bereiding

  1. Season and sear the roast

    • Season the chuck roast very generously with salt and pepper.
    • Heat a little olive oil over high heat in a Dutch oven.
    • Sear all sides of the roast for about five minutes per side until a nice crust forms, then set aside.
    Stap 1
  2. Caramelize the onions

    • Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same pan without wiping it clean.
    • Add the onions and stir to coat in the butter.
    • Reduce the heat to low and cook slowly, without browning, until the onions are deep golden and translucent, stirring occasionally.
    Stap 2
  3. Build the sauce

    • Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C).
    • Add the garlic, then the flour, and turn the heat back to medium until the flour is golden.
    • Pour in the cognac and white wine and let them absorb, then add the beef broth slowly and season with salt and pepper.
    Stap 3
  4. Braise the roast

    • Return the roast to the pan with the bay leaves and thyme.
    • Cover and bake until fork tender.
    Stap 4
  5. Shred the beef

    • Remove the pan from the oven and discard the thyme and bay leaves.
    • Shred the beef into large pieces in the sauce.
    Stap 5
  6. Top with bread and cheese

    • Arrange the lightly toasted baguette slices over the beef and top with the shredded gruyère.
    • Broil until the cheese is golden.
    Stap 6
  7. Finish and serve

    • Serve on its own with the bread or over mashed potatoes.
