Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, fresh or dried
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary, fresh or dried
Instructions
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for about 3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Transfer the seared roast to a Crock Pot.
Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and potatoes around and on top of the roast in the Crock Pot.
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.
Sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the top.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once done, skim off any excess fat from the liquid before serving.
Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and spoon the flavorful juices over the top. Enjoy!
