Trim fat off the certified Angus beef round roast and cut it into smaller cubes for even cooking.

Season the beef cubes with coarse salt and black pepper.

Place the seasoned beef into the slow cooker with chicken stock and beef stock.

Cook the beef in the slow cooker throughout the day.

Wash and cut the potatoes, leaving the skins on, and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

Rinse the soaked potatoes to wash away any remaining starch.

Pat the potatoes dry with a tea towel or paper towels.

Set up a heavy bottom pan for deep frying and preheat the oil to 325°F, ensuring there's about 1 inch of oil above the fries when submerged.

Par cook the potatoes in batches for about 5 to 7 minutes until light brown, then transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess oil.

Raise the oil temperature to 350°F for the final fry.

Fry the potatoes in batches for another 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then season with salt immediately.

In a clean heavy pot, ladle in the slow-cooked beef along with the stock and shred the beef using a wire whisk.

Mix cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl to create a slurry, then slowly pour it into the simmering beef and stock while whisking to thicken the gravy.

Layer crispy fries as the base, add squeaky cheese curds, and top with a hearty amount of hot shredded beef gravy.
