About

Not a light meal, by any means, but so satisfying and comforting. Lots of sliced onions simmer to golden tenderness underneath browned slabs of chuck, which is then easily shredded and stirred together with the onions and a cream sauce made from the cooking liquid. If you don’t have time to make the pastry crisps, you could bake some squares of thawed frozen puff pastry to serve under or over the creamed beef, or just toast some good bread.
