Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 3 pounds Chuck Roast Ideal cut for tenderness; brisket or sirloin can also work if cooking time is adjusted.
For the Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes Creamy and flavorful; baby yukons can be used unpeeled for convenience.
For the Flavor
  • 6 cloves Garlic Brings aromatic depth; feel free to add more for an extra boost of taste.
  • 1/2 cup Butter Creates a rich savory sauce; substitute with plant-based butter for a dairy-free option.
For the Cooking Liquid
  • 2 cups Broth Adds moisture and flavor; can use beef broth or gluten-free versions depending on your needs.
For Garnish
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley Adds color and freshness; optional but highly recommended to complement the dish.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by searing the chuck roast in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. This optional step locks in the flavors.
  2. In your slow cooker, combine the seared chuck roast, halved Yukon Gold potatoes, minced garlic, and generous pats of butter. Pour in your choice of broth until well covered but not submerged.
  3. Set your slow cooker on LOW and let it cook for 7-8 hours or switch to HIGH for 4-5 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  4. Once cooking is complete, transfer the tender beef and potatoes onto a serving platter. Drizzle any leftover garlic butter sauce from the slow cooker over the dish.
  5. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
