Chuck roast (or any beef roast cut that's on sale)
Chicken broth to just cover the bottom of your slow cooker
Vegetables
At least one onion, chopped in large chunks
At least several cloves of crushed garlic
Whatever spices you like on beef
Salt, pepper
Supplies:
Slow cooker
Season the beef on all sides with salt, pepper, spices. If you have time and want to be fancy, sear the roast in a super hot pan with just a touch of olive oil. Or skip that. Place in slow cooker. Place onions and garlic around the roast. Pour chicken broth (or beef or vegetable) in slow cooker just enough to cover the bottom so the roast sits in a very shallow puddle. Put the rest of the vegetables in. Today I used frozen mixed veggies and baby cut carrots just because that's what I had. Use whatever you want to eat with your beef (except not white potatoes) and whatever amount that you will need to match your beef portions. Turn on your slow cooker to low and if you have a timer set it for 8 hours. If you're lucky like I am, your slow cooker will automatically switch to Warm after the time is up. No need for knives when you serve - the roast will fall apart on your fork.
I made this today and I think next time I'll try to do a peppercorn dry rub on the beef for a day or two in the fridge before I cook it.
