Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 stalks celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1 piece bay leaf
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Coat evenly with flour and pat off excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add this mixture to the slow cooker.
Arrange carrots, celery, and baby potatoes around the beef in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, red wine (if using), and tomato paste. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables.
Tuck the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred or slice as desired. Discard the bay leaf and herb sprigs.
Serve the pot roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top for added flavor. Enjoy!
