Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 large Carrots
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step helps lock in flavor but is optional for a quicker prep.
Step 3
Peel the onion and cut it into large wedges. Peel the carrots and cut them into thick slices. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters.
Step 4
Place the vegetables (onion, carrots, and potatoes) into the bottom of a large crock pot to form a bed for the roast.
Step 5
Place the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
Step 6
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, depending on your schedule. The roast is done when it's fork-tender, and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter. Use the juices in the crock pot as a flavorful gravy or serve as-is.
Step 9
Slice the roast against the grain, serve with the vegetables, and enjoy.
