Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Chuck roast (boneless)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion (large, sliced)
- 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 Carrots (peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces)
- 6 Red potatoes (cut into quarters)
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
In a slow cooker, layer the carrots and red potatoes on the bottom. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
Spread the sautéed onion and garlic over the roast.
In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once the cooking is done, remove the bay leaf before serving. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid.
Serve the roast beef with the vegetables and a drizzle of the flavorful juices from the slow cooker. Enjoy!
