Meat

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Meat

    In a small bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and cumin. Rub this spice mixture all over the beef chuck roast to evenly coat.

  2. 2

    Sear the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the seasoned beef chuck roast in the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Broth

    Transfer the seared beef to a slow cooker or a pot. Pour the beef broth over the meat, ensuring it is well covered.

  2. 4

    Cook the Meat

    If using a slow cooker, set it on low and cook for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender. If using a pot, cover and simmer on low heat for about 2-3 hours, checking occasionally to ensure it does not dry out.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the meat from the pot and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
