Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Potatoes and Carrots

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional for searing)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the beef roast with salt and black pepper. If desired, sear the roast in a hot skillet with olive oil for a few minutes on each side until browned. This step adds more flavor to the meat but can be skipped if you’re short on time.
  2. In the slow cooker, place the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic at the bottom. This forms the vegetable base that will soak up all the flavors as the roast cooks.
  3. Carefully place the seasoned roast on top of the vegetables.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, soy sauce, and dried thyme. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. If cooking on high, it will take about 4-5 hours.
  6. Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  7. Serve with the cooked vegetables, and drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the top for added flavor.

This slow cooker beef roast with potatoes and carrots not only promises a delicious meal but also allows you to spend more time with your loved ones while it cooks. Enjoy your wholesome and savory home-cooked meal!
