Ingredients
- 3 lb Chuck Roast
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme Leaves
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion peeled and cut into large pieces
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 ½ lb Small Yellow Gold Potatoes
- 4 Carrots peeled and cut into large pieces
- 2 Tbsp Cold Water
- 2 Tbsp Cornstarch
- Fresh Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the 3 lb chuck roast evenly with 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried thyme leaves.
- Place the seasoned roast in the hot skillet and brown for 4–5 minutes per side.
- Add 1 medium yellow onion (cut into large pieces), 4 carrots (peeled and cut into large pieces), and 2½ lb small yellow gold potatoes (left whole) to a crock pot. Place the browned chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
- Add 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 cups beef broth, and 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce to the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8–10 hours or on High for 4–5 hours, until the chuck roast is fork-tender.
- Remove the chuck roast from the crock pot and shred it. Remove the potatoes, carrots, and onions and set aside.
- Carefully transfer the cooking broth from the crock pot to a saucepan. Strain out any vegetable pieces if desired. Heat the broth over medium-high heat and bring it to a gentle boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp cold water and 2 Tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the boiling broth. Continue whisking and cooking for 30–60 seconds, or until the gravy thickens.
- Serve the shredded roast with the potatoes, carrots, and onions. Spoon the gravy over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
*Make sure to cut the carrots and onions into large pieces or they will get too soft in the crock pot.
*You can cook this recipe on low or high but we prefer to cook this crock pot chuck roast recipe on low as the beef is more tender.
