Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Turn off the heat.

In a slow cooker, layer the carrots, celery, and potatoes at the bottom.

Step 5

Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the cooked onions over the roast.

Step 7

In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Add a bay leaf to the slow cooker.

Step 9

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easy to shred with a fork.

Step 10

Once done, remove the bay leaf and discard. Serve the beef roast with the vegetables and a spoonful of the flavorful cooking liquid.
