A comforting and easy slow cooker pot roast featuring tender beef chuck, sweet carrots, and fragrant rosemary potatoes. Perfect for cozy dinners with minimal prep and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast (well-marbled)
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon Gold or red), halved
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the roast and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms.
  3. While the roast is browning, peel and cut the carrots into large chunks, halve the baby potatoes, and slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  4. Place the sliced onions, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker. Tuck in the rosemary sprigs among the vegetables.
  5. Place the browned beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the beef broth with Worcestershire sauce and minced garlic. Pour this mixture evenly over the roast and vegetables.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables have softened but not turned to mush.
  8. Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables carefully. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  9. Arrange the sliced roast alongside the carrots and rosemary potatoes. Spoon some of the rich cooking juices over everything for extra moisture and flavor.

Notes

Searing the roast before slow cooking adds rich flavor and better texture. Layer vegetables at the bottom to keep the roast elevated and prevent soggy potatoes. Cook on low for best tenderness; high for 4 hours is possible but less tender. Let roast rest 10 minutes before slicing. If sauce is thin, reduce on stovetop or thicken with cornstarch slurry.
