Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 tablespoons plant-based butter (plant-based), divided
  • 6 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (natural)
  • Pinch of natural gelling agent
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Variations

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or dash of cayenne pepper (for spicy kick)
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (for mushroom boost)
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped (for vegetable addition)
  • 1 cup potatoes, chopped (for vegetable addition)
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped (for vegetable addition)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme, to replace Italian seasoning (natural)
  • 1/4 cup grape juice (natural) for glazing in the last hour

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels to ensure even browning. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides to develop flavor from the start.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of plant-based butter (plant-based) in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until it forms a golden crust, locking in juices and adding rich flavor.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, mix minced fresh garlic, the remaining 2 tablespoons melted plant-based butter (plant-based), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar, beef broth, Italian seasoning (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Stir well to combine the flavors.
  4. Slow Cook the Beef: Place the seared beef into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared garlic butter sauce evenly over the beef. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the beef is tender and infused with the sauce.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest a few minutes. Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid, then stir the sauce to combine. Slice or shred the beef and serve with the sauce poured over the top for full flavor.

Notes

  • Cooking on low heat yields the most tender and flavorful beef.
  • Searing adds depth to the taste and improves beef texture.
  • Use fresh garlic for a sharper, more vibrant flavor.
  • A pinch of natural gelling agent enhances sauce texture without altering flavor.
  • Let the beef rest after cooking to redistribute juices for moist bites.
