- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 3-4 lb chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive or avocado oil

- Heat a large 12 inch skillet over high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side. Place the roast in a 6 qt slow cooker.
- Add the broth and bouillon to the hot skillet and simmer for 1 minute, scraping up the brown bits. Remove from the heat and add the coke, soy sauce, and worcestershire.
