Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary (fresh or dried)
• 4 large Carrots
• 6 medium Red potatoes

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast generously 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. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in the juices and creates a flavorful crust.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onion into thick rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the onion slices to the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the beef.

Step 5

Place the seared roast on top of the onion slices in the crock pot.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic around the roast. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast to ensure it stays moist during cooking.

Step 7

Sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the top.

Step 8

Wash and chop the carrots into 2-inch pieces and halve the red potatoes. Distribute them around the roast in the crock pot.

Step 9

Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Step 10

Once finished, remove the beef from the crock pot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.

Step 11

Serve the roast beef with the cooked vegetables and some of the flavorful juices from the crock pot. Enjoy!
