Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, sliced onion
• 4 medium, peeled and cut into chunks carrots
• 4 medium, peeled and halved potatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoons dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Step 4

Place the carrots and potatoes in the bottom of a slow cooker. Layer the browned chuck roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour the softened onions over the roast, then add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic.

Step 6

Sprinkle the dried rosemary and thyme over the contents of the slow cooker.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with a lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Once cooked, carefully remove the pot roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Pour the cooking liquid into a bowl, skimming off any excess fat if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the pot roast with the vegetables, spooning the flavorful cooking liquid over the top as a gravy. Enjoy!
