Frequently asked questions
Do I need to sear the roast first?
You do not have to, but searing can add a little extra flavor. Even without it, the slow cooker does a great job making the meat tender and flavorful.
Can I cook this on low instead of high?
Yes, you can cook it on low for about 8 hours if you prefer. It will come out just as tender and flavorful.
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can use other cuts, but chuck roast works best because it becomes very tender as it cooks.
