Description
Tender and juicy chuck roast slow cooked with hearty vegetables and savory seasonings, delivering a comforting and flavorful meal perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Meat
- 3 pounds (1.4 kg) chuck roast
Vegetables
- 4 potatoes, chopped
- 3 carrots, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
Seasonings & Broth
- 3 cups (720 ml) beef broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Place the chopped potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped onion evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a flavorful base for the meat to rest on.
- Layer the Chuck Roast: Set the 3-pound chuck roast on top of the vegetables, ensuring it sits comfortably to absorb the juices while cooking.
- Add Seasonings and Broth: Sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme over the roast and vegetables. Pour in 3 cups of beef broth, which will keep the meat moist and enhance the flavors during cooking.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, allowing the chuck roast to become tender and infused with the seasonings.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and slice or shred it as preferred. Serve alongside the cooked vegetables and spoon some of the savory broth over the top for added moisture and taste.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, brown the chuck roast in a skillet before placing it in the slow cooker.
- You can add mushrooms to the vegetable mix for extra depth and earthiness.
- Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 to 4 days for best freshness.
