Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 medium Carrots
• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your vegetables. Peel the potatoes, carrots, and onion. Chop the potatoes and carrots into large chunks and slice the onion into wedges.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the dried thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with a paper towel and season it generously with the spice mixture on all sides.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step seals in the flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to create a paste (roux).

Step 7

Gradually pour the beef broth into the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Pour the gravy mixture over the roast in the crock pot.

Step 9

Add the carrots, potatoes, and onion wedges around the roast.

Step 10

Cover 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 11

Once done, carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 12

Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid and optionally pour it into a saucepan to thicken into gravy by simmering further if desired.

Step 13

Serve the roast beef with the tender vegetables and ladle the gravy over the top for a comforting meal.
