Share:
Ingredients
- 1 beef chuck roast 3-4 pound
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 4 large carrots peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 3 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 large onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
- Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step adds flavor to the meat and creates a nice crust.
- Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Add the beef broth, carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
- If desired, thicken the cooking liquid into a gravy. You can do this by creating a slurry with cornstarch and water, then adding it to the liquid in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened. (optional)
- Slice the pot roast against the grain and serve with the vegetables and gravy. Enjoy!
