Introduction
Delicious and tender slow-cooked beef pot roast served on buttered, toasted rolls with melted Swiss cheese, accompanied by a rich, savory au jus dipping sauce made from the strained cooking juices.
Step 1
Season both sides of the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Drizzle olive oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot and smoky, sear the chuck roasts for 3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms, then transfer them to a slow cooker.
Step 3
In the same skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced onion until it cooks down and becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce into the skillet.
Step 5
Add the dried parsley, dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried oregano, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, and fresh bay leaves. Mix everything together thoroughly.

Important Notes
Searing the beef before slow cooking is highly recommended as it adds caramelized flavor to both the beef and the final au jus sauce.
Skimming the rendered fat off the slow cooker juices before making the dipping sauce prevents the au jus from tasting overly greasy.
Allowing the shredded beef to rest in the turned-off slow cooker for 30 minutes makes the meat incredibly juicy and flavorful.
