Step 1

Place the broth, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire, and garlic in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker and stir to combine. Generously season the beef all over with salt and pepper. Add to the slow cooker and spoon some of the sauce over top. Cover and cook on the LOW setting until the beef is knife tender, about 8 hours.
