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 dry Italian dressing mix (about 1 ounce)
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium 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. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the vegetables.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, combine the beef broth, onion soup mix, au jus gravy mix, and Italian dressing mix. Stir until well combined.
Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker. Let the roast rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Serve the pot roast with the cooked vegetables and spoon some of the cooking juices over the top.
