Print Recipe

A hearty and flavorful slow cooker pot roast made with tender beef, vegetables, and a savory gravy — perfect for a comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 lb chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Place the chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle with thyme and rosemary.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
  7. If a thicker gravy is desired, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the liquid in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 15 minutes until thickened.
  8. Serve hot with the vegetables and gravy.

Notes

  • For added flavor, add a splash of red wine with the broth.
  • You can skip searing the roast, but it enhances flavor.
  • Use baby potatoes if you prefer to skip peeling.
