# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Set it in the morning and come home to a house that smells like a fancy restaurant without any effort
  • The beef becomes so tender you can cut it with a spoon, and the potatoes soak up all that garlicky butter goodness
02 -
  • Resist the urge to lift the lid during cooking. Every peek releases heat and adds about 15 minutes to the cooking time.
  • The broth will reduce considerably, creating its own rich sauce. Do not add more liquid unless it appears completely dry.
03 -
  • A quick sear in a hot pan before slow cooking creates a beautiful crust and adds layers of flavor
  • Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after cooking before serving to allow the flavors to settle
