Cooking Instructions
  1. Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the chuck roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, mix honey, bourbon, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Add the seared roast, ensuring it's well-coated.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover and set slow cooker on low for 8 hours until beef is fork-tender.
