A tender and flavorful slow cooker roast beef infused with fresh rosemary and garlic. Perfect for an easy, hearty meal with minimal effort.
3 pounds beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
1 medium onion, sliced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
2 stalks celery, cut into chunks
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the garlic and herb mixture evenly all over the roast.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place the sliced onion, carrots, and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth around the roast, avoiding washing off the seasoning.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the roast beef slices with the cooked vegetables and some of the cooking juices.
