Ingredients

Scale

1.5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 lb chuck roast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1.25 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2.5 lbs small Yukon gold potatoes, halved
1 lb carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks

Instructions

Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast until browned on all sides.
Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the seared beef on top of the onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary, then pour over the beef.
Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the beef inside the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the roast and vegetables, and serve with the cooking juices as a natural gravy.

Notes

Ensure your beef broth is non-alcoholic and contains no pork-based stabilizers. Use a 6-quart or larger slow cooker for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
