What cut of beef is best for this dish?

A boneless chuck roast is ideal due to its marbling and tenderness after slow cooking.

Can I add vegetables to the dish?

Yes, peeled carrots and potatoes can be added around the meat before cooking to complement the flavors.

Pouring beef broth around the roast and covering it tightly helps retain moisture and enhances tenderness.

While oven roasting takes about 3 hours, a slow cooker set on low for 8 hours can also be used for a hands-off approach.

Mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or crusty bread work well to soak up the pan juices.

Leftover roast can be shredded and used for sandwiches or added to stews for extra flavor.

Add Broth:: Pour the beef broth around (not directly over) the roast to avoid washing off the seasoning.
