\u200bStep 1: Prep Meat and Aromatic Layer \ud83e\uddc5\ud83e\udd69<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. \u200bTrim excess hard fat from 2.5 pounds of beef chuck roast, then slice into uniform 1-inch bite-sized cubes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u200bScatter 1 large finely diced yellow onion across the bottom of your slow cooker insert (as seen under the beef layer in the photo).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u200bArrange the raw beef cubes evenly over the onions in a single, relaxed layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. \u200bPro Tip:<\/em> Patting beef cubes dry with paper towels before placing them in the cooker helps the marinade adhere directly to the meat fibers!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bStep 2: Mix the Garlic Butter Glaze \ud83e\uddc4\ud83e\udd63<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. \u200bIn a glass measuring cup or bowl, combine 1\/2 cup of warm melted butter and 6 minced fresh garlic cloves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u200bWhisk in 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u200bSeason with 1\/2 teaspoon of coarse black pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for mild background warmth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bStep 3: Pour Sauce and Set Slow Cooker \ud83c\udf72\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. \u200bPour the seasoned garlic butter sauce slowly and evenly over all the raw beef cubes (exactly as demonstrated in the bowl pouring action shot).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. \u200bEnsure every piece of beef is coated with garlic pieces and herbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. \u200bCover the slow cooker with its glass lid and set to cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours<\/strong> (or HIGH for 3.5 to 4 hours) until the meat is fork-tender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u200bStep 4: Garnish and Serve \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\u2728<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. \u200bOnce cooked, stir the beef bites gently to coat them in the rich pan juices resting at the bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. \u200bGarnish with additional fresh chopped parsley and a pinch of flaky sea salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. \u200bServe warm over a bed of buttery mashed potatoes, fluffy white rice, or egg noodles to catch all the luscious garlic butter gravy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
