🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 sprig Fresh rosemary

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.

2. Set your rice cooker to the sauté function (if available) or use a stovetop pan for this step. Heat the olive oil and sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in flavor.

3. Roughly chop the onion into large chunks. Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch lengths. Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters.

4. If your rice cooker allows, place the beef directly into the pot. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes around the roast.

5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring that the roast and vegetables are mostly submerged in the liquid.

6. Place the thyme and rosemary sprigs on top of the roast for extra flavor.

7. Cover the rice cooker and set it to the 'slow cook' or 'white rice' setting (depending on your model). Allow to cook for 4 hours, checking periodically to ensure there is enough liquid. Add a small amount of water or broth if needed.

8. Once done, remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs, and gently take the roast out of the rice cooker. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

9. Serve the pot roast with the cooked vegetables and drizzle with some of the broth for extra moisture and flavor.
