Ingredients
1 (3 to 4 pounds) frozen beef chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup beef broth
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium celery stalks, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Instructions
Place the frozen beef chuck roast directly into the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the top and sides of the frozen roast.
Add the carrots, celery, and sliced onion around the roast in the slow cooker.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth and tomato paste until combined.
Pour the broth mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
After cooking, check that the roast is tender and has reached an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced roast beef with the cooked vegetables and spoon some of the cooking liquid over the top.
