Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 Carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 Fresh thyme, sprigs
- 2 Fresh rosemary, sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
Season the chuck roast evenly on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the chuck roast in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs on top of the roast.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
To make a gravy, strain the cooking juices from the crock pot into a saucepan. Discard the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk this mixture into the saucepan with the cooking juices and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Serve the chuck roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top.
