Description
A heartwarming comfort food featuring tender beef, rich garlic butter, and perfectly cooked potatoes, ideal for any day of the week.
Ingredients
- Beef Chuck Roast (3-4 pounds)
- Garlic (6-8 cloves, minced)
- Unsalted Butter (½ cup)
- Yellow Potatoes (2 pounds, cut into chunks)
- Beef Broth (2 cups)
- Dried Thyme (1 teaspoon)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep your slow cooker! A 6-quart size works perfectly for this recipe. Plug it in and set it to low heat for a longer cook or high heat for a quicker meal.
- Sear the beef (optional but recommended). Heat a tablespoon of olive oil on high heat in a skillet and sear the beef chuck roast on all sides for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Add the seared beef or raw chuck roast directly into the slow cooker. Then, melt the butter in your skillet and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, and pour this buttery goodness over the beef.
- Layer the potato chunks directly around the beef roast in the slow cooker for even cooking.
- Season with dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the beef broth in, ensuring it surrounds the meat and potatoes.
- Set your slow cooker and let it work its magic! Cook on low for about 480 minutes (or 240 minutes on high).
- Final touch: adjust seasoning if desired and serve the shredded or sliced beef alongside the potatoes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
For extra zest, mix in fresh herbs like parsley or balsamic vinegar. This dish can also be served with a side of crusty bread.
