– Effortless. The slow cooker does all the work for you—just set it and forget it!
– Flavorful. Slow cooking allows the beef to absorb all the seasonings, giving it an incredibly deep and rich flavor.
– Perfectly Tender. Chuck roast is a naturally tough cut, but slow cooking transforms it into a succulent, fork-tender dish.
Start by seasoning the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. This step is optional but highly recommended as it helps lock in the flavor.
While the roast is searing, prepare your vegetables. Place the onions, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. These will soak up the juices from the roast, making them tender and flavorful.
Once the roast is seared, place it on top of the vegetables. Add the garlic, fresh herbs, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the beef broth over the top, ensuring the roast is mostly covered.
Carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve with the tender vegetables and a drizzle of the broth for extra flavor.
