Step 3: Slow Cook
Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
Avoid lifting the lid frequently, as doing so releases heat and can increase the cooking time.
Step 4: Optional Sauce Thickening
Transfer the cooked roast to a serving platter and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, combine:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Stir the mixture into the cooking liquid and cook on HIGH for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
Allowing the roast to rest before slicing helps retain its juices for a more tender result.
With the sauce ready, it’s time to serve this comforting roast alongside your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
