Ingredients

• 3 lbs Chuck roast
• 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 lb Baby carrots
• 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Dried rosemary
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds flavor to the dish.

Step 3

Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.

Step 4

Peel and roughly chop the onion, then mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the crock pot along with the roast.

Step 5

Add the baby carrots and quartered Yukon Gold potatoes around the roast in the crock pot.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to mix well and pour over the roast and vegetables.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 5-6 hours, until the roast is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Step 8

Once done, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter. Cover to keep warm.

Step 9

To make the gravy, strain the liquid left in the crock pot into a medium saucepan. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk this into the simmering liquid until the gravy thickens.

Step 11

Serve the roast and vegetables with the freshly made gravy drizzled on top or on the side.
