Ingredients
Chuck roast – Use a wider shorter roast here, then the bed of vegetables can just lay atop.
Olive oil – for searing the roast and sautéing the aromatics.
Salt and pepper – season roast with a fair amount of salt, otherwise it can taste a little flat.
Yellow onion – I prefer to saute the onions before adding to slow cooker remove the raw bite. Then I like to take the onion slices out after cooking since they do get mushy but leave them if you like.
Garlic – be sure to use fresh garlic for best flavor here. Use a garlic crusher if you hate mincing.
Beef broth – I know they say not to use canned beef broth but chicken broth just doesn’t seem right here. I personally like the flavor just fine.
Worcestershire sauce – if you don’t have this you can skip it. It just adds a little hint of depth.
Fresh thyme, rosemary and parsley – fresh herbs do taste best here but if you don’t want to pay the higher price use 1/3 the amount listed of dried herbs.
Potatoes (yellow potatoes) – red potatoes will work great here as well.
Carrots – thicker carrots work better here as they won’t get mushy with this lengthy cook time.
Cornstarch – this is optional but preferred for best results. It’s turns a broth with an almost water-like consistency into a perfectly thickened gravy that clings to the meat and vegetables.
How to cook it...
First Brown the meat all over, add to slow cooker: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Dab roast dry with paper towels, season all over with salt and pepper.
Sear roast in pot until browned on both sides, about 4 – 5 minutes per side. Transfer roast to slow cooker.
Saute aromatics, layer them over roast: Add remaining 1/2 Tbsp olive oil to pot. Add onion and saute 2 minutes, add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.
Pour onion mixture over roast in slow cooker.
Make the most of those browned bits: Return pot to heat, pour in beef broth, Worcestershire, thyme and rosemary and cook about 15 seconds, just long enough to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot, this will add lots of flavor to the broth. Remove pot from heat.
Layer vegetables into slow cooker: Layer potatoes and carrots over onion layer in slow cooker, pour beef broth evenly over top then season with salt and pepper.
Cook low and slow: Cover slow cooker and cook on low heat until roast and vegetables are tender, about 8 – 9 hours.
Remove roast and vegetables, shred roast, cut up potatoes if desired.
Make da gravie
Whisk cornstarch with 3 Tbsp beef broth then pour into saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, let simmer 30 – 60 seconds.
Plate roast and vegetables, pour gravy over the top and sprinkle with parsley.
Eat it, nam nam nammmm...
