Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 cups baby carrots
• 6 medium red potatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms (about 4-5 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and slice the yellow onion into thick rings. Layer the onion slices on the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 4

Wash the red potatoes and cut them into halves (or quarters if they are large). Place the potatoes and baby carrots over the onion in the crock pot.

Step 5

Place the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dried thyme and rosemary evenly over the top.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot. Slice or shred the roast as desired.

Step 10

For a thicker gravy: Strain the liquid from the crock pot into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then stir it into the simmering liquid. Continue cooking until thickened.

Step 11

Serve the pot roast hot with the vegetables and gravy on the side.
