Crock Pot Roast (with Gravy!)

Tender and flavorful slow-cooked beef roast with a rich, homemade gravy, perfect for a comforting and hearty meal.

👉Ingredients:

3-4 lb beef chuck roast

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

2 cups beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

2 bay leaves

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup water

👉Directions:

↪️Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.

↪️In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.

↪️In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to the crock pot.

↪️Add the carrots and potatoes to the crock pot, arranging them around the roast.

↪️Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables. Sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the top, and add the bay leaves.

↪️Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the roast is tender and falls apart easily.

↪️To make the gravy, remove 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the crock pot and transfer it to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

↪️In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.

🔸️Serve the roast and vegetables hot, drizzled with the homemade gravy.
