Slow Cooker Pot Roast made with red wine is easy to make and delicious, packed with meat and veggies, that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt Kosher salt
- black pepper Kosher salt
- 4 pound beef chuck roast
- 8 potato cut in half, medium-small, red variety
- 2 cups carrot baby
- 8 cloves garlic
- 2 onion quartered
- 4 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- ½ tablespoon rosemary dried
- ½ tablespoon thyme dried
- ½ tablespoon kosher salt
- ½ tablespoon black pepper ground
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 5 thyme sprigs, fresh
Garnish:
- thyme fresh
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large heavy duty pot that has a lid. Salt and pepper the beef on both sides of the roast, then sear it for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker: potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaves, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt and pepper. Add the beef broth and the wine. You can replace the wine with beef broth in this recipe.
- Stir gently, top with fresh thyme and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
- For optimal results, I like to turn the beef roast on the other side mid-cooking.
- Once done, place pot roast on a large plate, garnish with fresh thyme and parsley, drizzle with some of the broth. Save the broth to store leftovers in it.
- The pot roast can be served with mashed potatoes or just with the veggies!
- Enjoy!
