Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 medium Carrots
- 3 large Potatoes
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
Instructions
Season the chuck roast on all sides with the salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step locks in the flavor.
While the roast is searing, peel and slice the onion into thick wedges, and peel and crush the garlic cloves.
Place the onions and garlic in the bottom of the crock pot.
Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot, placing it on top of the onions and garlic.
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
Peel and chop the carrots into large chunks and cut the potatoes into quarters. Add the carrots and potatoes to the crock pot, spreading them around the roast.
Add the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs on top of the roast and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once done, remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Shred the roast with two forks if desired. Serve hot with the vegetables and a spoonful of the rich cooking juices from the crock pot.
