Method
Slice the onion and set it aside.
In a small bowl, combine the all‑purpose flour and fine bread crumbs.
Toss the beef chuck pieces with the flour‑breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the apple juice and the condensed beef consomme to the crockpot.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Mrs. Dash herb blend, kosher salt, coarse ground pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes; whisk to combine.
Add the coated beef chunks to the crockpot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the meat is fork‑tender and the sauce has thickened.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Serve the shredded beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice, with a side of green beans if desired.
