Description

A comforting and tender pot roast made in a crock pot, perfect for cozy gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs chuck roast
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 4 large carrots, chopped
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 2 tsp fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast for about 3-4 minutes per side until it forms a crust.
  3. Layer the seared chuck roast in the crock pot.
  4. Top with chopped carrots, quartered potatoes, sliced onions, and minced garlic.
  5. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary over the top.
  6. Pour in beef broth until it nearly covers the vegetables, leaving some roast exposed.
  7. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Notes

For added flavor, consider including a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or additional herbs like paprika or bay leaves. Leftovers can be used for sandwiches or tacos.
