Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary (fresh or dried)
- 4 large Carrots
- 6 medium Red potatoes
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in the juices and creates a flavorful crust.
Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the onion slices to the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the beef.
Place the seared roast on top of the onion slices in the crock pot.
Add the minced garlic around the roast. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast to ensure it stays moist during cooking.
Sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the top.
Wash and chop the carrots into 2-inch pieces and halve the red potatoes. Distribute them around the roast in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.
Once finished, remove the beef from the crock pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
Serve the roast beef with the cooked vegetables and some of the flavorful juices from the crock pot. Enjoy!
