Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 medium Carrots
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary
Instructions
Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, approximately 4-5 minutes per side. This step helps to lock in flavor.
Peel and slice the yellow onion into thick wedges. Peel and cut the carrots into large chunks. Wash and quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes.
Place the onions, carrots, and potatoes at the bottom of the crock pot. Lay the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Serve the roast with the vegetables and spoon the savory juices from the crock pot on top as a delicious gravy. Enjoy!
