Steps:

• In small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Cook 4 minutes on ribs side, then turn and cook 1 to 3 minutes each on other sides, until browned, holding roast upright in skillet with tongs if necessary.
• Transfer to slow cooker, ribs side down. Rub butter mixture on top and sides of roast. Cover and cook on Low heat setting 3 to 5 hours or until desired temperature in center.
