Slow-Cooker Savory Pot Roast with Gravy

This savory pot roast is incredibly easy to make, and the slow cooker does all the hard work for you. Just set it and forget it until dinner time!

Ingredients

3-4 lbs of chuck roast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
4 carrots, chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening gravy)

Instructions

Start by searing the chuck roast. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the roast with salt and pepper, then sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds a depth of flavor to your dish.
While the roast is searing, prepare your vegetables. Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Once the roast is seared, set it aside.
In the slow cooker, layer the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and additional salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shreds.
If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. About 30 minutes before serving, stir this mixture into the pot and let it cook uncovered for the remaining time.
Once done, remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the delicious gravy over the roast and vegetables.
