Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 lb beef chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the seared roast to your Crockpot.
  • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary and cook for another minute until fragrant. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Pour the diced tomatoes, beef broth, red wine (if using), and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then pour the mixture over the roast in the Crockpot. Tuck the bay leaf in amongst the vegetables.
  • Arrange the quartered Yukon gold potatoes around the roast in the Crockpot. Make sure they are partially submerged in the liquid.
  • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  • Remove the bay leaf. Using two forks, shred the pot roast. Stir the shredded beef back into the vegetables and cooking liquid. Serve hot.
