Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Seasoning

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion, cut into wedges

Liquid

  • 2 cups beef broth

Instructions

  1. Season the Roast: Thoroughly season the beef chuck roast with salt, pepper, and minced garlic, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor penetration during slow cooking.
  2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned roast into the slow cooker, making sure it fits snugly. Arrange the potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges evenly around and on top of the roast.
  3. Add Broth: Pour 2 cups of beef broth over the roast and vegetables to keep them moist and infuse the dish with savory goodness throughout the cooking process.
  4. Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to the low setting and cook for 8 to 10 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily with a fork, and the vegetables are cooked through.
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the pot roast and vegetables from the slow cooker, slice or shred the beef as preferred, and serve hot with the natural juices from the slow cooker spooned over the top for added flavor.

Notes

  • For enhanced flavor, sear the beef chuck roast in a hot skillet with a little oil for 3-4 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • You can add herbs like rosemary or thyme to complement the beef and vegetables if desired.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat well.
  • Use a fat separator to skim off any excess fat from the cooking juices before serving.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste after cooking.
