Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make the perfect Tender Crock Pot Chuck Roast:

Prepare the Ingredients:

Sear the Roast: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chuck roast on all sides until it’s brown and crusty. This step is optional but adds a delicious depth of flavor. After searing, transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the onions, mince the garlic, peel and chop the carrots, and cut the potatoes into chunks. Add the vegetables to the slow cooker around the roast.
Add the Liquid and Seasoning: Pour the beef broth and water into the slow cooker. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Place the bay leaf on top of the roast. Stir the liquid slightly to mix in the seasonings.

Cook the Roast:

Set the Slow Cooker: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours. The roast is done when it’s tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Check for Tenderness: If you’re unsure, check the roast by inserting a fork. If it pulls apart easily, it’s ready to serve.

Serve the Roast:

Shred the Meat (Optional): Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the meat, or slice it into thick pieces. You can also leave it whole and serve it as-is, depending on your preference.
Serve with Vegetables: Spoon the carrots, potatoes, and onions onto plates, and drizzle some of the flavorful cooking liquid over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
