A comforting and easy slow cooker pot roast recipe with tender beef and hearty vegetables, perfect for a no-fuss family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into large chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: peel and cut carrots into large chunks, dice potatoes into similar-sized pieces, slice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on each side for about 4 minutes until a deep brown crust forms.
  4. Place the carrots, potatoes, and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  5. Set the browned roast on top of the vegetables and sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the top.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the roast and vegetables.
  7. Tuck rosemary and thyme sprigs around the roast.
  8. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 to 9 hours until the roast is fork-tender and vegetables are soft but not mushy. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
  9. Remove the roast and vegetables carefully and let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve hot with cooking juices spooned over the top.

Notes

Browning the meat before slow cooking adds extra depth of flavor but can be skipped if short on time. For gluten-free diets, verify Worcestershire sauce ingredients. You can swap russet potatoes for sweet potatoes or add parsnips for variation. Rest the meat after cooking to retain juices. If the roast isn’t tender after the cooking time, continue cooking as slow cooker times may vary.
