Crockpot Chuck Roast by Erikatennille

Ingredients

• 1.4 kg (3 lb) beef chuck roast
• 450 g (1 lb) baby potatoes, halved
• 450 g (1 lb) carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
• 2 large yellow onions, thickly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 480 ml (2 cup) beef broth
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season generously on all sides with salt and pepper at 375°F until golden and cooked through, about 25 min.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply browned.
3. Place the sliced onions, potatoes, and carrots at the bottom of the slow cooker insert until ready to serve.
4. Lay the seared roast on top of the vegetables and scatter the minced garlic over the meat at 375°F until golden and cooked through, about 25 min.
5. Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast, being careful not to wash off the seasonings at 375°F until golden and cooked through, about 25 min.
6. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork-tender and pulls apart easily.
7. Remove the meat and vegetables to a serving platter, then skim excess fat from the remaining juices to serve as a jus until ready to serve.
