Notes
- No need to sear the meat! Cooking the beef low and slow makes it fall apart tender and juicy.
- No need to add any liquid! The butter along with the cooking juices is enough.
- If your beef is cut into smaller pieces, reduce the cooking time to about 5 hours to prevent overcooking or burning. I like 2-inch chunks of beef.
