Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 large Carrots
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step helps lock in flavor but is optional for a quicker prep.
Peel the onion and cut it into large wedges. Peel the carrots and cut them into thick slices. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters.
Place the vegetables (onion, carrots, and potatoes) into the bottom of a large crock pot to form a bed for the roast.
Place the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, depending on your schedule. The roast is done when it's fork-tender, and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter. Use the juices in the crock pot as a flavorful gravy or serve as-is.
Slice the roast against the grain, serve with the vegetables, and enjoy.
