Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1½ lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 lb carrots, peeled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat roast dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven and sear roast on all sides until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add onions to the pot and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
  4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits. Add thyme and rosemary.
  5. Return roast to the pot. Cover and cook in oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3–4 hours or in a slow cooker on LOW for 8 hours.
  6. Add potatoes and carrots during the last 90 minutes of cooking.
  7. Slice or shred beef, spoon gravy over top, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Chuck roast becomes ultra-tender when slow cooked.
  • One-pot meal means minimal cleanup.
  • Rich gravy is made naturally from pan drippings.
  • Perfect for meal prep and leftovers.
