Instructions
Lightly grease your slow cooker to prevent sticking. Place the chuck roast in the greased slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, garlic, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this marinade over the chuck roast in the slow cooker, ensuring it covers the meat evenly.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and easy to shred.
Remove the cooked roast from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir it into the remaining juices. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. For added flavor, garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme before serving.
