Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 12 ounces Pepsi
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 4 pieces Carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
- 6 pieces Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until a golden crust forms, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove the roast and set it aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Transfer to the bottom of a slow cooker.
Step 4
Place the seared roast on top of the onions and garlic in the slow cooker.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, whisk together Pepsi, beef broth, ranch seasoning mix, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast.
Step 6
Add the carrots, potatoes, and thyme (if using) around the roast in the slow cooker.
Step 7
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.
Step 8
Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and vegetables. Skim off any excess fat from the remaining liquid in the slow cooker, then serve as is or reduce into a gravy if desired.
Step 9
Serve the pot roast warm with the cooked vegetables and spoon over some of the cooking liquid for added flavor. Enjoy!
