- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- 1 onion, chopped (optional)

Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Start by cutting the chuck roast into large chunks and size them so they cook evenly. Peel and chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

- Cook: Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Finish & Serve: When everything is beautifully cooked, serve your dish directly from the slow cooker.
