Season generously on all sides with salt and black pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sear the Beef:<\/strong><br \/>\nHeat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for about 3\u20134 minutes per side, until nicely browned. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you&#8217;re short on time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the Slow Cooker:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlace the sliced onion, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Put the browned beef roast on top of the vegetables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Garlic and Herbs:<\/strong><br \/>\nSprinkle the minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley over the beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the Cooking Liquid:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour the mixture around the beef.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slow Cook:<\/strong><br \/>\nCover and cook on <strong>LOW for 8\u20139 hours<\/strong> or on <strong>HIGH for 4\u20135 hours<\/strong>, until the beef is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish the Sauce:<\/strong><br \/>\nTransfer the beef and vegetables to a serving platter and cover loosely to keep warm. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan if desired.<\/li>\n<li>In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Bring the cooking liquid to a gentle simmer and whisk in the slurry. Cook for 2\u20133 minutes, until the sauce thickens.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the butter for a richer, silky finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong><br \/>\nSlice or shred the tender beef and serve it with the potatoes, carrots, and plenty of the garlic-herb sauce.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Chuck roast works especially well because the slow cooking breaks down the connective tissue and makes the beef incredibly tender.<\/li>\n<li>Searing the beef before slow cooking gives the finished dish a deeper, richer flavor.<\/li>\n<li>For extra garlic flavor, add a few whole garlic cloves directly to the slow cooker.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t lift the lid repeatedly while cooking, as this can increase the cooking time.<\/li>\n<li>Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3\u20134 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>Serve this garlic-herb beef with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Crusty bread<\/li>\n<li>Steamed green beans<\/li>\n<li>A simple garden salad<\/li>\n<li>Roasted vegetables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slow Cooker Garlic-Herb Beef (Tender &amp; Flavorful) Tender, juicy beef slowly cooked with garlic, herbs, and a savory sauce until&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7760"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7760\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7762,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7760\/revisions\/7762"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
