Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to conjure up this savory masterpiece:

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for browning the roast)

Instructions

Creating this wonderful pot roast is simple. Just follow these steps:

  1. Start by seasoning the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. This step adds depth of flavor to your pot roast.
  3. Now, place the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, quartered onion, and minced garlic at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  4. Lay the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours, depending on your time constraints. The roast should be fork-tender when finished.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Serve your Yankee pot roast with the delicious juices drizzled over the top, and enjoy!
