Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3-4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 3 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 large onion quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Skillet (optional for searing)

Method
 

  1. Generously season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper.
  2. Optional: In a hot skillet, sear each side of the roast for 3–4 minutes until browned.
  3. Place chopped carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Set the beef roast on top of the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Sprinkle rosemary and thyme over the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
  7. Remove roast and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with vegetables and optional gravy from juices.

Notes

Use leftover roast for sandwiches, tacos, or soups! Add potatoes if desired and sear the beef for added flavor. Low-sodium broth is a great healthy swap.
