Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast (or chicken thighs for variation)
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups beef or chicken stock (depending on meat used)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Season the beef roast with salt and black pepper. Sear the meat in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, celery, and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Transfer the seared beef roast to the slow cooker (crockpot). Arrange the chopped carrots, baby potatoes, and sautéed vegetable mixture around the meat.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together beef or chicken stock, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the ingredients in the crockpot.
Add the bay leaves on top of the mixture for added flavor.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, depending on your time availability. Check occasionally to ensure the vegetables are tender and the meat is fork-tender.
Once the cooking time is complete, remove the bay leaves. Use a fork to shred the beef gently or slice into chunks if preferred.
Serve the Crockery Pot Delight in bowls with generous ladles of the flavorful broth. Pair with crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
