Step 6 -Add 1 cup of the beef broth to the onion mixture and use a wooden spoon to loosen any of the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7 -Simmer the onion mixture until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8 -Pour the onion mixture and the remaining beef broth over the seared chuck roast.

Step 10 -Use two forks to shred the chuck roast into smaller pieces in the slow cooker then mix it with the juices.

Step 11 -Evenly arrange the shredded beef between each of the French rolls.
