STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Sear the Beef: In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned beef roast to the pan. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish.
- Layer the Slow Cooker: Place the chopped onions, minced garlic, carrots, potatoes, and celery in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Sprinkle dried thyme and rosemary over the vegetables, distributing evenly.
- Add the Beef: Carefully transfer the seared beef roast on top of the bed of vegetables in the slow cooker.
- Pour in the Liquid: Slowly pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables, ensuring that the liquid reaches halfway up the sides of the roast. The broth will infuse the meat and vegetables with savory flavor as they cook.
- Set the Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours. Cooking on low heat yields the most tender and flavorful results.
- Check for Doneness: After the cooking time has elapsed, carefully remove the lid from the slow cooker. Test the roast for doneness by inserting a fork into the meat—it should easily shred apart.
- Optional Thickening: If desired, create a slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of flour with ¼ cup of cold water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the liquid in the slow cooker to thicken the gravy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the tender pot roast, vegetables, and gravy to a serving platter. Serve hot, alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or crusty bread.
