A flavorful and hearty slow cooker pot roast perfect for family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the roast in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it is nicely browned.
  2. Place the browned roast into your slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until they’re fragrant.
  4. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet, stirring well to deglaze and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Mix in the dried thyme and rosemary.
  5. Pour this seasoned broth mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.
  6. Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast, making sure they are submerged in the liquid.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  8. When done, carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest briefly before slicing.
  9. Serve the sliced roast and vegetables with the rich cooking liquid as a gravy.

Notes

  • Ensure the roast is well-seared for maximum flavor.
  • You can add additional vegetables such as celery or parsnips if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
