Introduction
A classic, comforting slow cooker pot roast featuring melt-in-your-mouth tender chuck roast and chunky, wholesome vegetables simmered in a savory, aromatic beef and red wine broth. It is incredibly easy to prepare and perfect for a cozy family dinner.
Step 1
Prepare the vegetables: peel and cut the carrots, celery, and onion into large chunks. Quarter the potatoes, and peel and roughly chop the garlic.
Step 2
Season both sides of the beef chuck roast generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, making sure to rub it evenly across the meat.
Step 3
Heat avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for 4 to 5 minutes on each side without moving it to develop a deep, golden crust. Optionally sear the edges as well.
Step 4
Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker. Layer the chopped garlic, carrots, celery, onion, sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary, and bay leaves on top. Pour in the beef broth and red wine.
Step 5
Add the quartered potatoes on top of the other ingredients, spread them out evenly, cover with the lid, and cook on 'Low' for 8 hours.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Do not use russet potatoes as they are too starchy and will completely disintegrate during the 8-hour slow cook. Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds, red potatoes, or baby potatoes.
Always cut the carrots, celery, and onions into large chunks. Since they cook for 8 hours, small pieces will turn completely mushy.
Searing the chuck roast beforehand is essential to lock in juices and build a rich, caramelized flavor for the broth; do not skip this step.
Choose a dry, full-bodied red wine that you enjoy drinking, as the remaining wine in the bottle makes a great pairing with the completed dinner.
