Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper, then brown all sides in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes each.
  2. Once the beef is golden brown, carefully transfer it to your Crock-Pot. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and onion soup mix evenly over the top, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  3. Arrange 4 large peeled and chunked potatoes, 4 peeled and chunked carrots, and 1 quartered onion around the beef in the Crock-Pot.
  4. Pour 1 cup of beef broth gently over the roast and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly moistened.
  5. Cover the Crock-Pot with its lid and cook the mixture on low for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
  6. Once cooked, ladle the rich liquid from the Crock-Pot over the beef roast and vegetables. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice or shred the beef as desired.
