Main Ingredients
  • 3 to 4 pounds chuck roast Choose a good quality roast for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the roast
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, cut into pieces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. While the roast sears, chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes.
  3. In your crockpot, layer the chopped vegetables first, followed by the seared roast.
  4. Pour the beef broth over the roast, followed by Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  5. Cover and set your crockpot to low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours.
  6. When the roast is fork-tender, it’s time to serve! Adjust flavors with additional salt or herbs if desired.

Notes

Allow leftovers to cool before refrigerating in an airtight container. Properly stored, the dish can last for up to 3-4 days in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and reheat slowly with a splash of broth to keep it moist.
