Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast Trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 pound baby potatoes Washed
  • 4 tablespoons garlic butter Divided usage
  • 1 large onion, chopped Adds flavor
  • 2 cups beef broth For moisture and flavor
  • to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning
  • to taste Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop the onion and wash the baby potatoes. Make sure your beef roast is thawed and trimmed of excess fat.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1 tablespoon of garlic butter. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides for a few minutes until browned.
  3. Transfer the seared beef into your slow cooker. Sprinkle the chopped onion over the top, followed by the baby potatoes.
  4. Pour the beef broth over the ingredients to combine. Add salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  5. Finally, top it all off with the remaining garlic butter. Cover and set your slow cooker to low for 8 hours, or high for 4 hours.
  6. Once done, check for tenderness. If the meat pulls apart easily with a fork, you’re ready to serve!
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs to add a pop of color and additional flavor.

Notes

If using other proteins such as chicken or lamb, adjust cooking time accordingly. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
