Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 cup cola (regular, not diet)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 2 cups baby potatoes
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until it develops a golden-brown crust. Remove from heat and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In the crock pot, layer the onion rings on the bottom, then place the seared beef roast on top.
Surround the beef with baby carrots and baby potatoes, distributing them evenly.
Pour the cola and beef broth over the roast and vegetables.
Add the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar to the liquid in the crock pot. Stir lightly to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker sauce, pour the liquid from the crock pot into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water, then whisk it into the simmering liquid until thickened.
Serve the roast sliced, with the vegetables on the side and the sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
