Ingredients
- 4.5-5 pounds Chuck roast
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 3 cloves Garlic Finely minced
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Red chili flakes Optional
- 1 tablespoon Butter Melted
- 1 tablespoon Oil
Instructions
- Season the chuck roast with the salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning, red chili flakes.
- Heat butter and oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the meat on each side until lightly browned.
- Transfer roast and drippings to slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on Low heat for 90 minutes. The timing may vary on the brand of your crockpot. The best thing to do is to set an alarm on your meat thermometer and wait till it beeps at the correct temperature of doneness.
- Check the temperature with a meat thermometer. For medium rare, it should read 135 degrees F and for medium, it should read 140 degrees F. I prefer medium doneness.
- Remove roast from crockpot and place it on a cutting board or serving dish.
- Cover with aluminum foil paper.
- Let the meat rest 20 minutes.
- Then, use a sharp knife to cut slices. Be sure to cut against the grain of the meat for very thin slices, which are great for sandwiches. Enjoy!
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
