Chuck Roast


  • Author: Christine
  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chuck Roast:

  • 34 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Vegetables:

  • 4 medium carrots, chopped
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 23 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 23 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

Instructions

Prepare the Chuck Roast

  1. Season the Meat: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub the roast with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Sear the Roast (Optional): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). This step enhances the flavor but can be skipped if you’re short on time.

Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker or Oven

  1. Place the Roast: Transfer the roast to a slow cooker or a large Dutch oven.
  2. Add Broth and Worcestershire Sauce: Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
  3. Add Vegetables: Surround the roast with chopped carrots, potatoes, onion, and minced garlic. Add thyme and rosemary on top.

Cook the Chuck Roast

  1. Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  2. Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Cover the Dutch oven and roast in the oven for 3-4 hours, until tender.
