Step 3: Transfer to Slow Cooker
Place the seared beef into your slow cooker. Spread it evenly so it cooks uniformly.
Step 4: Make the Garlic-Herb Sauce
In a bowl, mix together:
- Beef broth
- Worcestershire sauce
- Soy sauce
- Garlic
- Thyme, rosemary, paprika
- Tomato paste
Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Step 5: Pour and Add Butter
Pour the sauce over the beef in the slow cooker. Add the butter on top—it will melt slowly and enrich the sauce as it cooks.
Step 6: Slow Cook to Perfection
Cover and cook:
- Low heat: 6–8 hours (best for ultra-tender meat)
- High heat: 3–4 hours
The beef is ready when it’s fork-tender and easy to pull apart.
Step 7: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
If you prefer a thicker sauce:
- Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl
- Stir into the slow cooker during the last 20–30 minutes
- Let it cook uncovered until the sauce thickens
Step 8: Taste and Adjust
Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
