Why This Recipe Works

This recipe uses the low and slow cooking method to break down the connective tissue in the beef, making it tender and juicy.

The combination of beef broth, brown sugar, and thyme creates a rich and savory flavor profile that’s sure to please.

Key Ingredients

When it comes to the beef, look for a chuck roast with a good balance of fat and lean meat. This will help keep the roast moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process. You can also use other types of beef, such as round or rump, but chuck is our top recommendation.

For the potatoes, choose high-quality Russet or Idaho potatoes that are high in starch. These will yield a fluffier, more tender result. If you prefer a more golden-brown potato, try using a higher-starch potato like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss.
