1
Season the Chuck Roast
Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub the entire surface with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.
2
Sear the Chuck Roast
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chuck roast and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
3
Cook the Chuck Roast
Transfer the seared chuck roast to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

4
Prepare the Toppings
While the chuck roast is cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and dice the tomato. Set aside.
5
Make the Fennel Cream
In a bowl, combine fennel cream ingredients (if making from scratch) or simply measure out fennel cream if using store-bought. Adjust seasoning to taste.

6
Shred the Chuck Roast
Once the chuck roast is done cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
7
Serve
On a plate, place a generous portion of shredded chuck roast. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced cucumber, fennel cream, red onion, and diced tomato. Serve warm.
