Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try adding a splash of red wine to the marinade for depth. If you prefer a bit of heat, include a pinch of red pepper flakes. You can also substitute thyme for rosemary if desired. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. To make it a complete one-pot meal, add baby carrots or small potatoes to the slow cooker.
