Introduction
A comforting and easy slow cooker pot roast recipe featuring tender chuck roast, baby potatoes, and carrots smothered in a rich, savory homemade gravy. Perfect for a hassle-free, delicious family dinner.
Step 1
Prepare the flour dredge by combining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Thoroughly coat both pieces of the 4 lb beef chuck roast in the seasoned flour dredge.
Step 3
Heat 1/4 cup of cooking oil in a large pan. Add the dredged chuck roast and sear both sides for several minutes until a deep brown crust develops.
Step 4
Remove the seared beef from the pan and let it rest on a tray.
Step 5
Turn off the heat briefly to avoid burning. Using the residual heat and oil in the pan, sauté the diced onion until softened and translucent, then turn the heat back on.

Important Notes
Searing the meat is crucial to build deep flavor and color for both the roast and the gravy.
The gravy is made purposefully thick because the beef and vegetables will release a lot of natural juices during the slow cooking process, thinning it out perfectly.
For sliceable but tender pot roast, aim for 6 to 7 hours of cooking. If you prefer fall-apart shredded beef, cook for the full 8 hours on LOW.
Always taste your gravy at the end of cooking and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper to your preference.
