Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast (well-marbled)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for searing)
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into large chunks (Yukon gold or red potatoes)
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1/4 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the roast on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown crust forms.
  3. Peel and cut carrots and potatoes into chunks. Slice celery stalks, quarter the onion, and mince garlic.
  4. Place carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
  5. Transfer the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables in the crockpot.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, red wine (if using), tomato paste, dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the roast and vegetables.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are soft but not mushy.
  8. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Searing the roast is key for flavor and texture. For firmer vegetables, add them 3-4 hours before the end of cooking. Keep the crockpot covered to retain moisture. You can prepare the ingredients in advance and refrigerate overnight before cooking. For gluten-free, verify Worcestershire sauce or substitute with coconut aminos or tamari.
