A comforting dish of tender chuck roast slow-cooked with vibrant vegetables, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs Chuck roast Select a well-marbled cut for juiciness.
- 4 cups Beef broth Chicken broth or water can be used as substitutes.
- 4 large Carrots (chopped)
- 4 medium Potatoes (cubed)
- 1 medium Onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
Seasoning and Oils
- 2 tbsp Olive oil For searing the roast.
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Rosemary Fresh herbs enhance flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chuck roast generously with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Chop the carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic into even-sized pieces.
Cooking
- Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker, adding the chopped vegetables around it.
- Pour 4 cups of beef broth over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 8 hours.
- Check for tenderness after 8 hours; the roast should flake apart easily.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and serve on a platter with some of the broth ladled over.
Serving
- Gather your family and enjoy the meal, celebrating the love and effort behind it.
Notes
For maximum flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the broth. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
