Description
A delicious and tender beef roast cooked slowly in a savory broth, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary. Sear the roast in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
- Place the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
- In a bowl, mix together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
- Serve the beef roast with the vegetables and some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the broth mixture before cooking.
- You can substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile and added nutrients.
