Instructions

Season the Beef with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary.
Sear the Beef in a large pot over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side. Add water to cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2.5-3 hours, or until the Beef is very tender.
While the Beef is simmering, prepare the Au Jus. Combine all Au Jus ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, skimming off any foam.
To make the Caramelized Onions, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and caramelized. Stir in brown sugar and salt during the last 5 minutes.
Remove the Beef from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes. Shred the Beef with two forks.
Slice the Ciabatta rolls in half and spread with butter. Layer the shredded Beef, Caramelized Onions, and Gruyere cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
Broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately with the Au Jus for dipping.
