Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 5 Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 3 Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the beef roast on all sides until browned (about 4 minutes per side). Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Transfer the seared beef, sautéed onions, and garlic to a slow cooker.

Step 5

Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.

Step 7

Add the bay leaves and fresh thyme sprigs on top of the ingredients.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Transfer the beef to a serving dish and shred or slice as desired.

Step 10

Serve the beef with the cooked vegetables and spoon the rich broth over the top for added flavor.
