Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 cup Catalina dressing
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 large onion
• 1 pound baby carrots
• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.

Step 4

In a slow cooker, layer the onion slices along the bottom as a bed for the roast.

Step 5

Place the seared roast on top of the onion slices in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Add the baby carrots, baby potatoes, and smashed garlic cloves around the roast.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Catalina dressing, beef broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined.

Step 8

Pour the Catalina mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is coated.

Step 9

Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 10

Once done, carefully transfer the roast to a cutting board and slice or shred as desired.

Step 11

Serve the roast with the vegetables and spoon some of the delicious cooking liquid over the top for extra flavor.
