🙋♀️ FAQ's
Chuck roast - either boneless or bone-in. The boneless roast will be more expensive. The bone-in less expensive, but will have even more flavor from the bone. They are also called Top-Blade or Chuck 7-Bone Roast.
Top Loin, Bottom or Top Round, Rump Roast are also good choices. Brisket offers big beefy flavor also.
That's a great question! We don't eat a whole lot of roasts in our home and because I don't shop for it very often, I will call my folks often even face-timing my Mom so she can help me pick out good meat - true story! But here's what I've learned.
when possible choose organic grass-fed beef
shop from a local butcher or meat market
a little marbling is good!
Have you heard the phrase brown food tastes good? Brown equals flavor and if you have the opportunity to brown a roast prior to putting it in the slow cooker great! With this recipe it's just not necessary! Even better, right?!!!
Cook on high heat for eight hours. Or on low heat for 12 hours.
Variations
If you'd prefer, sear this roast on the stovetop. Place a large skillet or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the top of the roast, flip and sear the underside. Place in the slow cooker as directed.
