Create a comforting, flavorful pot roast with minimal effort using your slow cooker. This garlic herb recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight or a special, fuss-free holiday meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, thickly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  2. Place the sliced onion in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seasoned roast on top of the onions.
  3. Pour the beef broth, red wine (if using), and Worcestershire sauce around the roast.
  4. Scatter the minced garlic over the top of the roast. Tuck the rosemary and thyme sprigs around the meat.
  5. Arrange the carrots and celery around the sides of the roast.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the herb sprigs before serving. Shred the meat with two forks directly in the slow cooker or on a cutting board. Serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, sear the roast in a hot, oiled skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the meat and vegetables halfway through cooking. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of cold water and stir into the liquid. Continue cooking until thickened.
  • This recipe tastes even better the next day.
