Tender, slow-cooked beef tips infused with rich French onion flavors and topped with melted mozzarella cheese for a comforting, savory meal.
Ingredients
- 2–3 pounds chuck roast
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow or white onion, sliced thin
- 1 oz au jus packet (low sodium preferred)
- 1 oz beefy onion soup mix (low sodium preferred)
- 1 oz French onion soup
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into pats
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the chuck roast into 1–2 inch pieces and season with black pepper.
