Ingredients
3 pounds beef chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup beef broth
1 packet onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 ounce)
1 packet dried Italian seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 medium red potatoes, quartered
1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat.
Place the carrots, potatoes, and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the minced garlic over the vegetables.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix, au jus gravy mix, and Italian seasoning mix evenly over the roast and vegetables.
Pour the beef broth around the roast in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Remove the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Let the roast rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Stir the cooking liquid in the slow cooker to combine and serve as a flavorful gravy.
