Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 cup Catalina dressing
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.
In a slow cooker, layer the onion slices along the bottom as a bed for the roast.
Place the seared roast on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.
Add the baby carrots, baby potatoes, and smashed garlic cloves around the roast.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Catalina dressing, beef broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined.
Pour the Catalina mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is coated.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once done, carefully transfer the roast to a cutting board and slice or shred as desired.
Serve the roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the delicious cooking liquid over the top for extra flavor.
