Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pound beef chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1.5 pounds potatoes, cut into chunks
- 1 pound carrots, cut into chunks
Instructions
- Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned.
- Transfer the seared roast to your slow cooker.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic around the roast.
- In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Add the potato chunks and carrot chunks to the slow cooker during the last 2-3 hours of cooking.
- Once the vegetables are tender and the roast is easily shredded, serve hot.
Notes
- For thicker gravy, you can mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Any sturdy root vegetables can be used in place of or in addition to potatoes and carrots.
- Ensure vegetables are cut into similar sizes for even cooking.
