Ingredients

• 3 lbs Chuck roast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 2 cups V8 vegetable juice, spicy
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 3 Celery stalks, chopped
• 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 2 Bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Season the chuck roast evenly on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the chuck roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer it to a slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then deglaze the pan by adding 1/2 cup of the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add the sliced onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, and bay leaves to the slow cooker, arranging them around and on top of the meat.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the spicy V8 juice, remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Stir well and pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 7

Once done, remove the bay leaves and discard them. Carefully transfer the roast, vegetables, and a portion of the cooking liquid to a serving platter or bowl.

Step 8

Optional: For a thicker gravy, transfer the liquid to a saucepan, bring to a simmer, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry (2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water) while whisking consistently for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

Serve the Spicy V8 Pot Roast warm with the vegetables and sauce, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
