Ingredients

• 4 lbs Chuck roast (boneless)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion (large, sliced)
• 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 4 Carrots (peeled and chopped into 2-inch pieces)
• 6 Red potatoes (cut into quarters)
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Dried rosemary
• 1 Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 4

In a slow cooker, layer the carrots and red potatoes on the bottom. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Spread the sautéed onion and garlic over the roast.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Step 8

Once the cooking is done, remove the bay leaf before serving. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid.

Step 9

Serve the roast beef with the vegetables and a drizzle of the flavorful juices from the slow cooker. Enjoy!
