Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 4 potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry and season with salt and black pepper, then sear in a hot skillet with a thin layer of oil until deeply browned on each side, about 4‑5 minutes per side, and transfer to the slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, carrots, and potatoes for a few minutes until they begin to soften, then add them to the slow cooker around the roast.
  3. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables, sprinkle dried thyme evenly, and ensure the liquid reaches about halfway up the meat.
  4. Cover the cooker and set to low for 8‑10 hours or high for 4‑5 hours, until the meat is fork‑tender and the vegetables are soft.
  5. Remove the roast, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice or shred and serve with the vegetables, spooning some cooking liquid over the top.

Notes

  • For extra richness
  • deglaze the skillet with a splash of grape juice after searing and pour that into the slow cooker. Leftovers reheat beautifully with a little added broth.
