Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Dice the onion, cube the baby potatoes, and rinse the baby carrots. Set them aside.
Season and Layer:
- Lay the chuck roast in the slow cooker. Surround it with the diced onion, cubed potatoes, and baby carrots. Optionally, drizzle oil or place small cubes of butter on top for added flavor.
Make the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and Italian herbs. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the Marinade:
- Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the chuck roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on
low for 8-10 hours
or on
high for 4-6 hours
, until the chuck roast is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Shred the Meat:
- Once cooked, remove the chuck roast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and mix it with the vegetables and juices.
Portion and Store:
- Divide the meal into 6-7 portions and store in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for long-term storage.
Tips for Success:
Add extra chicken broth if you want more liquid for reheating.
Adjust seasonings (e.g., salt, garlic, herbs) based on personal preference.
This meal reheats wonderfully due to the moisture retained in the slow-cooked ingredients.
