Season and sear a chuck roast and set aside.

Slice onions and garlic to have ready.

In a large measuring cup, mix together beef stock, wine, and various seasonings.

Add the seared beef to the crock pot.

Skip sautéing the onions and garlic; they will melt into the gravy during cooking.

Add everything to the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Shred the beef and discard larger pieces of fat; add a little gravy to the shredded beef to keep it moist.

Prepare a horseradish sour cream for the sandwich.

Lay the bottom of the rolls with horseradish sour cream, add cheese, shredded beef, and onions.
