Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Choose a high-quality beef chuck roast with good marbling for optimal flavor.
  • Wash baby potatoes and chop carrots into bite-sized pieces, slice the onion.

Cooking

  • Optional: Sear the beef roast in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  • Place the seared roast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Surround it with the baby potatoes, carrots, and sliced onion.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the broth mixture over the roast and vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  • Check for doneness; the roast should be fork-tender.
