Step 1

Add beef and all liquid/seasoning ingredients to the crock pot and set on high.

Step 2

If you prefer to slice the beef, cook 3-4 hours, then remove beef from crock pot while still slightly firm and slice very thinly.

Step 3

If you prefer shredded beef (easier), cook for 5 hours and shred with forks when tender, removing chunks of fat.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 5

Remove meat from crock pot, reserving juices, and pile meat on buns, topped with cheese.

Step 6

Bake buns in the oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted and buns warm.

Step 7

Serve immediately with reserved juices (au jus) for dipping.
