Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Sear the beef on all sides for about 3–4 minutes until a rich brown crust forms.
  2. Place the seared beef into your slow cooker. Wash and halve the Yukon Gold potatoes, then add them around the beef. Mince several cloves of garlic and sprinkle them on top. Pour the melted garlic butter over everything.
  3. Pour in about two cups of beef broth around the ingredients and cover the slow cooker with its lid.
  4. Set your slow cooker to LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef shreds effortlessly with a fork.
  5. After cooking, transfer the beef and potatoes to a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
