2. Layer the Slow Cooker
Place chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes at the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the seared roast on top.
3. Add Broth and Seasonings
In a bowl, mix together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary. Pour over the roast and vegetables.
4. Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on low for 8–9 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
5. Make the Gravy
Remove the roast and vegetables and set them aside. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker juices and cook on high for 5–10 minutes until the gravy thickens.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Slice or shred the roast, plate with the vegetables, and drizzle generously with that rich, homemade gravy.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Serve with crusty bread or buttered rolls to soak up the gravy.
- Add a side of green beans or roasted Brussels sprouts for extra greens.
- Use leftovers for pot roast sandwiches, wraps, or shepherd’s pie.
💡 Tips & Variations
- No chuck roast? Try using brisket or bottom round roast instead.
- Want more depth? Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the broth.
- Make it gluten-free: Use arrowroot or a gluten-free thickener instead of cornstarch.
- Skip searing if you’re short on time – it’ll still be delicious!
