Notes

Low and slow option: Cook the beef on low for 7 to 8 hours instead of 4 hours on high.

Make ahead: The braised beef tastes even better the next day. Refrigerate with its juices for up to 4 days.

Best bread: Ciabatta or sourdough holds up best to the juicy filling.

No plantains? Thin slices of caramelized sweet potato give a similar sweet-savory balance.
