Prepare the roast

Season the chuck roast with saltand black pepper. You can also brown the roast in a skillet with a bit of olive oil over medium-high heat to enhance flavor, but this step is optional.

Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker, covering the roast and potatoes.

Cook

Serve

Once done, remove the roast from the slow cooker and slice or shred it. Serve with the cooked potatoes and onions, spooning some of the flavorful juices over the top.

For extra richness, you can add a couple of tablespoons of butter at the end of cooking.
