Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 medium Carrots
• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and cut the carrots and russet potatoes into large chunks.

Step 4

Layer the onions and garlic at the bottom of the crock pot to create a flavorful bed for the roast.

Step 5

Place the seared beef chuck roast on top of the onion and garlic layer.

Step 6

Add the carrots and potatoes around the roast in the crock pot.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Add the fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs on top for an aromatic touch.

Step 9

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.

Step 10

Once cooking is complete, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 11

Pour the remaining liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering liquid, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 13

Slice the roast and serve it with the vegetables, drizzled with the savory gravy. Enjoy your meal!
