Braised Beef Melt Recipe

Braised Beef Melt Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef

   Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

2. 2

   Cook the Aromatics

   Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Braised Cooking

   Return the roast to the pot, add beef broth, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it braise for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

4. 4

   Prepare the Toast

   Once the beef is done, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Shred the beef and mix it with onion jam and herb dijonaise.

5. 5

   Assemble the Melt

   On a slice of brioche, layer the shredded beef mixture, followed by slices of cooper cheese, tomato, and a handful of arugula. Top with another slice of brioche.

6. 6

   Grill the Sandwich

   Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Butter the outside of the brioche slices, then grill the sandwich until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the sandwich in half and serve hot with extra arugula and tomato on the side if desired.
