Beef and Cheddar Melt
- 1 pound Thinly Sliced Chuck Roast
- 1 whole Medium Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 slices (1-inch Thick) Rustic Bread
- 4 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 3 slices Pickles, To Serve (optional)
- Marinate the beef with the onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Place in a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
- It will be fall-apart fork tender when you are done.
- Once the beef is cooked, use some tongs and place the beef in a bowl.
- Discard the juices.
- Pull apart with a couple of forks, taste, and season with any additional salt and pepper should you desire.
- When you are ready to make the sandwiches, butter each slice of bread.
- Add 1 slice of the buttered bread, butter side down, on a preheated skillet on medium heat.
- Add 2 slices of the cheddar cheese to the top of the bread, covering the bread, then add as much shredded beef as you want.
- Top that with the remaining 2 slices of cheese, then top with the remaining slice of bread, butter side up.
- Cook the sandwich for a few minutes, gently lifting to make sure you are getting that golden crust you want in a great grilled cheese sandwich.
- Once golden, carefully flip over, and cook on the other side.
- Lower the heat a bit, and if you have a sandwich press, at it to the top of the sandwich.
- If you do not have a sandwich press, add a heavy pot to the top, or add a bit of pressure with a spatula.
- Cook another few minutes, and once that side is golden, remove it and get ready to plate.
- Slice the sandwich in half, on a diagonal.
- Poke a few pickles with a toothpick and stack on top of the sandwich.
- Food porn at its finest.
- The rustic bread really made this sandwich.
- The texture of the sandwich was awesome.
- The subtle crunch of the bread along with the super tender beef when bitten into and the pull of the cheddar cheese, well, I will say no more.
- This sandwich rocked.
- Hope you enjoy!
