Here’s a classic Crockpot Beef Roast recipe—super tender, flavorful, and perfect for an easy family dinner.
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 3–4 lbs (1.4–1.8 kg) beef chuck roast
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
- 4 carrots, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp flour or cornstarch (for thickening, optional)
🥄 Instructions
- Prep Roast:
Season the beef roast with salt, pepper, and optional dried herbs. For extra flavor, you can sear the roast in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before placing in the crockpot. - Layer Vegetables:
Place potatoes, carrots, and onion in the bottom of the crockpot. Add minced garlic. - Add Roast & Liquid:
Place the roast on top of the vegetables. Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the top. - Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 5–6 hours, until the roast is tender and easily shredded with a fork. - Optional Gravy:
Remove the roast and vegetables. Mix 1–2 tbsp flour or cornstarch with a little cold water, stir into the cooking liquid, and cook on high for 5–10 minutes until thickened. - Serve:
Slice or shred the roast and serve with vegetables and gravy.
💡 Tips:
- Add parsnips, turnips, or celery for extra flavor.
- Leftovers make amazing sandwiches or beef hash.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the cooking liquid.
