Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until it develops a deep brown crust. Transfer to the crock pot.
Peel and slice the carrots into large chunks (about 2 inches each). Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size. Slice the onion into thick wedges. Add them, along with the garlic cloves, to the crock pot around the roast.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the crock pot with the lid. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the roast is fork-tender.
Optional: About 30 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to form a slurry. Stir the slurry back into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the crock pot and shred or slice it. Serve it hot with the vegetables and the thickened sauce drizzled over the top.
