📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add chuck roast, 1 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, onion, garlic cloves, soy sauce, honey, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper into a 6 quart crock pot. Place a lid on top then cook on low for ⏱️ 7-8 hours or until meat shreds easily. Shred meat then return to crock pot and cook on low for 1 more hour.

Meanwhile bring remaining 1 cup balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan then turn heat down to medium and simmer until vinegar is thickened and slightly sweet tasting, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. You'll know it's done when you scrape a spatula across the bottom and the vinegar stays parted for a second or two. Pour reduced balsamic vinegar into a serving dish. (Can do this ahead of time - microwave reduced balsamic vinegar for ⏱️ 15-20 seconds to get it to pouring consistency.)
3
Strain the cooking liquid from the crock pot through a fine mesh sieve lined with cheese cloth into the same saucepan, leaving a little bit of liquid in the crock pot to keep the meat juicy. Put the meat back into the crock pot and place a lid on top to keep warm. Add remaining beef broth to the saucepan then bring mixture to a boil and then turn heat down to medium and simmer until reduced and vinegar taste has mellowed, ⏱️ 20 minutes. Pour the au jus into a serving dish.
4
Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shallots then saute, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, ⏱️ 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain then sprinkle lightly with salt and repeat with remaining shallots.
