Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

Place the diced onion, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot.

Step 4

Add the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.

Step 6

Add the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs on top.

Step 7

Cover the crockpot with the lid and set to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 8

Once the roast is done, carefully remove it along with the vegetables and set them aside on a serving platter. Discard the herb sprigs.

Step 9

Skim off any excess fat from the liquid in the crockpot. Transfer the liquid to a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side.
