Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast
This mouthwatering roast is easy to prepare and requires minimal effort. Let your slow cooker do the hard work while you go about your day! Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the beef roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). This step is optional but adds great depth of flavor!
- Once the roast is seared, place it in the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and potatoes around the meat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours. The beef should be tender and shred easily with a fork when done.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. While it rests, you can mix the vegetables and broth for a delicious side to serve with your beef.
- Slice or shred the beef and serve it warm with the vegetables. Drizzle the cooking liquid over the top for added flavor.
Enjoy your wonderfully tender slow cooker beef pot roast with family and friends! It's sure to be a hit at the dinner table, providing smiles and satisfied bellies all around.
