1. Preheat oven to 300F (149C). Place beef chuck into a deep roasting pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle Parmesan, salt, pepper, and cinnamon over top.

3. Seal roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in oven for 5 hours, or until meat easily falls away from the bone when pulled with a fork.

4. Remove beef from oven; trim fat off the beef and discard onions. Using two forks, shred beef into strands, leaving strands in the roasting pan to soak up pan drippings.

5. once beef is done braising, pour store-bought fries onto a baking sheet and bake as directed.

2. Place butter and onions into a large pot and heat over medium heat; stir while cooking for 2 minutes, or until onions start to soften.

3. Add red cooking wine and 2 cups of water to the pot; bring mixture to a rapid boil over medium high heat.

4. Whisk flour mixture into the pot, stirring until smooth.

5. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes; turn off heat and cover sauce to keep warm until assembly.
