Pot roast with vegetables

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds of chuck roast
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of beef broth
  • 1 cup of tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, sear the meat on all sides over medium-high heat until browned. This step adds an incredible depth of flavor.
  2. Once seared, transfer the meat to the slow cooker. Add the carrots, potatoes, onion, and minced garlic on top of the roast.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar. Once well combined, pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. The longer you let it cook, the more tender and flavorful the meat will become.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, check the seasoning and adjust if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or brown sugar based on your taste preference.
  6. Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the meat and serve it with the cooked vegetables, drizzling some of the cooking liquid over the top.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs, if you like, and enjoy your delicious pot roast!
