Description
A heartwarming slow cooker pot roast perfect for family gatherings, combining tender beef with rich gravy and vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3-4 lb) beef chuck roast
- 4 carrots, chopped
- 4 potatoes, chopped
- 1 onion, quartered
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Searing the chuck roast gives it a delicious crust and locks in flavorful juices.
- Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, and sear on all sides until browned, enhancing the meat’s flavor.
- Place chopped carrots, potatoes, and quartered onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. This creates a flavorful base for your roast.
- Put the seared roast on top of the vegetables, ensuring it sits nicely for even cooking.
- Mix beef broth, onion soup mix, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl, then pour over the roast and vegetables to infuse them with flavor.
- Secure the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve hot with veggies and gravy over mashed potatoes or rice for a truly comforting experience.
Notes
For thicker gravy, remove some liquid after cooking and whisk in a cornstarch slurry before serving. Add fresh herbs for extra flavor in the last hour.
