Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the vegetables: peel the carrots and potatoes, then cut them into large chunks. Slice the onion into thick wedges. Set vegetables aside.
Season the chuck roast on both sides with the salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until it is browned. This step enhances the flavor of the roast.
Place the seared chuck roast in the crockpot. Scatter the onions, carrots, and potatoes around the roast.
In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crockpot.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the crockpot for extra flavor.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours, or on HIGH for 5-6 hours. The roast should be fork-tender when done.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables carefully. Slice or shred the roast as desired. Serve alongside the tender vegetables with a drizzle of the savory crockpot juices.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color before serving.
