Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 medium carrots
- 6 medium red potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.
Slice the onion into thick rings, peel and roughly chop the carrots, and halve the red potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the onion, carrots, potatoes, and garlic in the bottom of the crock pot to form a base layer.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.
Once cooked, transfer the roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For the gravy, strain the liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan. Whisk together the all-purpose flour and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
Bring the strained liquid to a simmer over medium heat and slowly whisk in the slurry. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Serve the sliced roast with the vegetables and gravy drizzled over the top. Enjoy!
