Ingredients
3 lb beef chuck roast
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 cup beef broth
½ cup red wine (optional, can sub with extra broth)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, sliced
3 carrots, cut into chunks
2 potatoes, cut into chunks
Directions
- Season the beef – Rub the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Sear the meat – In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3 minutes per side).
- Prepare the slow cooker – Place the sliced onions, carrots, and potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Layer the flavors – In a small bowl, mix the garlic, rosemary, thyme, beef broth, red wine (if using), and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture over the roast.
- Cook low and slow – Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Serve – Shred or slice the beef and serve with the vegetables, spooning some of the rich broth over the top.
Notes
- • For extra richness, add a tablespoon of tomato paste to the broth.
• Thicken the sauce by removing some of the cooking liquid and whisking it with a tablespoon of cornstarch before returning it to the slow cooker.
• Leftovers? This roast makes fantastic sandwiches or can be served over mashed potatoes for another cozy meal.
