Notes

• Searing is Non-Negotiable: The Maillard browning created during the hard stovetop sear creates hundreds of flavor compounds that infuse deep savoriness throughout the slow-cooking process.n• Low Heat Yields the Best Texture: Cooking on LOW for 8 hours gently breaks down the tough collagen fibers into silky gelatin without toughening the beef proteins.n• Chuck Roast Cut: Always look for a well-marbled chuck roast (preferably chuck eye or shoulder cut) with visible white marbling running through the meat.
