Ingredients

• 3 pounds Chuck roast
• 4 Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 1 Yellow onion, sliced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the carrots, potatoes, onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the roast.

Step 4

Lay the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour the liquid mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.

Step 8

Once the cooking time is complete, check if the roast is tender by inserting a fork. It should easily shred apart.

Step 9

Serve the pot roast with the cooked vegetables on a plate, spooning some of the delicious broth over the top for extra flavor.
