Instructions

Pat the beef dry and season all sides with salt and pepper.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear beef 2–3 minutes per side until deeply browned.
Add onion and garlic to the slow cooker; nestle the seared beef on top.
Pour in beef broth around the meat; dot the remaining butter over the roast and sprinkle with thyme.
Cover and cook on LOW 8 hours (or HIGH 4 hours) until fork-tender.
Shred the Garlic Butter Beef in the cooker, toss with the buttery juices, and serve.

Notes

Browning the roast first builds a richer garlic-butter fond and deeper flavor.
Swap thyme with rosemary or Italian seasoning for a different twist.
Skim excess fat after cooking or add a cornstarch slurry to thicken the buttery jus for serving.
