Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 4 medium Carrots
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the roast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until well-browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Peel and roughly chop the yellow onions into wedges. Peel the carrots and slice them into 2-inch pieces. Leave the baby potatoes whole if small, or halve them if larger.
In a 6-quart slow cooker, layer the onions, carrots, and baby potatoes at the bottom.
Place the seared beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
In a small mixing bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well to combine.
Pour the broth mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once cooked, transfer the beef to a cutting board and shred it using two forks. Serve the shredded beef alongside the vegetables and drizzle with the cooking juices.
Serve and enjoy your comforting Lazy Day Pot Roast!
