Give everything a quick stir, put the lid on, and set the slow cooker to low. That’s where the real work happens—slow, steady heat breaking down the beef until it turns unbelievably tender. Eight hours later, you lift the lid, and a wave of rich, savory aroma rolls out like a warm blanket on a cold night.
The beef falls apart at the slightest nudge. The gravy, now deep and glossy, clings to every piece. Stirring it once before serving brings everything together—the flavors, the textures, the heartiness of a meal that tastes like it took all day because it actually did.
