Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this tasty pot roast:

• 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 carrots, chopped
• 4 stalks celery, chopped
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

Now, it’s time to bring it all together!

1. Season the roast: Start by seasoning your beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Sear the meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the roast and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it’s nicely browned. This step adds extra flavor!
3. Add the veggies: Remove the roast from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
4. Combine everything: Return the roast to the pot. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then sprinkle in the thyme and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Slow cook: Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 3-4 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender. If you're using a slow cooker, set it on low for 6-8 hours.
6. Serve: Once the roast is tender, remove it from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it up and serve with the delicious veggies and all that flavorful broth. Enjoy!
