Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 4 medium Carrots, cut into chunks
- 4 medium Russet potatoes, cut into chunks
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 Fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Season the chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This helps lock in flavor.
Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.
Add the chopped onion, carrot chunks, and potato chunks around the roast in the crock pot.
In a bowl, mix together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Place the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf on top of the roast.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily falls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the herb sprigs and bay leaf.
Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and juices from the crock pot. Enjoy!
