Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cans (10.5 oz each) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 6 Red potatoes, halved
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the chuck roast for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
In a slow cooker, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Add the seared chuck roast to the slow cooker and nestle it into the sauce. Add the carrots, red potatoes, and optional fresh thyme around the roast.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Discard thyme sprigs, if used.
Pour the remaining sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to thicken, if desired. Serve the sauce alongside the pot roast and vegetables.
