Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 4 medium gold potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but adds great flavor.
Peel and chop the yellow onion into large chunks. Wash and halve the gold potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the baby carrots, chopped onion, and halved potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the crock pot.
Place the seared beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well and pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 8 hours or on HIGH heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, taste the broth and adjust seasonings with additional salt or pepper as desired.
Serve the beef roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the savory broth over the top. Enjoy your delicious and easy meal!
