Equipment

  • oven
  • skillet
  • spice grinder

Ingredients
  

  • 3.5 lbs boneless chuck roast
  • 1 oz onion soup mix
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1.5 tablespoon kosher salt divided
  • 2 tablespoon neutral oil divided
  • 4 medium yellow onions halved, sliced into ½" wedges
  • 0.5 cup dry red wine
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 small bunch fresh thyme plus more for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Pat beef dry and prepare seasoning by crushing onion soup mix, pepper, and 1 Tbsp. salt. Season beef all over.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Brown beef for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to plate.

  • Pour in beef broth, return beef to skillet, add thyme, and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to oven.
  • Roast beef for 2 hours and 45 minutes to 3 hours until tender.
  • Transfer beef to a cutting board, discard thyme, and return skillet to heat. Simmer sauce until reduced by half, skimming fat.
  • Shred beef into large pieces, return to skillet, and top with cheese. Broil until melted and brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve topped with thyme and sliced baguette.
