Main Ingredients

  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup carrots peeled and cut into chunks
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  • Place the seared beef into the slow cooker. Add minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and beef broth.
  • Cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
  • About 2 hours before the end of cooking, add the carrots and any optional ingredients like onion and balsamic vinegar.

Serving

  • Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the cooked carrots and a ladle of the cooking juices.

Storage

  • Allow the pot roast to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
