Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 stalks Celery stalks
• 6 small Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and coarsely chop the yellow onion. Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. Slice the celery stalks into similar-sized pieces. Quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes.

Step 4

Layer the vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes) in the bottom of a large slow cooker.

Step 5

Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste until smooth. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours) until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 8

Once done, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 9

Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering cooking liquid. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the pot roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side. Enjoy your hearty Sunday supper!
