Step 1

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

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

In the bottom of the slow cooker, layer the chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until combined.

Step 7

Pour the broth mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 9

Once done, carefully remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred or slice it as desired. Serve the beef alongside the cooked vegetables with the cooking liquid drizzled over the top as a flavorful gravy.
