Ingredients

2.5-3 lb bison chuck roast (if frozen, defrost first)
3 cups mushroom or beef broth

1 tsp whole cumin seed (crushed)
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

Once hot add the roast. Make sure to brown the meat on every side. Whole process should take about 10 minutes.
Add to the slow cooker.
Add all the seasonings to the broth. Taste the broth to make sure it's strongly flavored. Add more until it's really strong. Then pour over top the roast.
