This tender and juicy pot roast, paired with flavorful carrots and potatoes, is the perfect cozy, set-it-and-forget-it meal for busy days. 🌿🥔🥕

Ingredients 🛒

3 lbs chuck roast

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 large carrots, cut into chunks

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

2 cups beef broth

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tbsp tomato paste

Directions 👩‍🍳

Season and Sear: Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes until softened, then add to the slow cooker.

Add Vegetables and Liquid: Arrange the carrots and potatoes around the roast in the slow cooker. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and tomato paste. Stir slightly to combine.

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

Serve: Serve hot with the carrots, potatoes, and a ladle of the savory broth. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
