Ingredients

• 3 pounds bottom round roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 4 medium carrots, chopped into 2-inch pieces
• 3 large russet potatoes, chopped into chunks
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the bottom round roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and thyme on all sides.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until a golden brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the crock pot, layer the diced onion, chopped carrots, and potatoes on the bottom to create a vegetable bed for the roast.

Step 4

Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid. Set it to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 6

Once the roast is done, carefully remove it and the vegetables from the crock pot and set them on a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

To make the gravy, skim off any excess fat from the cooking liquid in the crock pot. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the cooking liquid in the crock pot and whisk until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes on high heat.

Step 8

Slice the roast against the grain and serve with the vegetables and gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
