Notes
Choose the Right Cut: Chuck roast works best for this recipe, but you can also use shoulder or brisket — just make sure it’s well-marbled for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Sear for Extra Flavor: For even deeper flavor, quickly sear the beef cubes in a hot skillet before baking or slow cooking. It locks in juices and adds a rich, caramelized crust.
Slow Cooker Option: This recipe works beautifully in a crock pot! Cook on high for 5–6 hours or low for 8–10 hours until fork-tender.
Homemade Montreal Steak Spice: If you don’t have the store-bought version, mix coarse salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed coriander, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serving Ideas: Serve the tender beef over fluffy white rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered egg noodles. Pair with a crisp cucumber salad or steamed veggies for a balanced, hearty dinner.
Storage Tip: Leftovers taste even better the next day! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
