🥘 Ultimate Slow Cooker Pot Roast 🍲
Ingredients:
4-5 lb chuck roast
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 tsp dried thyme
1 lb carrots, peeled and cut into 2" chunks
2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp cold water
Minced parsley (optional, to garnish)
Instructions:
Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Brown the roast in canola oil in a pan or slow cooker insert on medium-high for 4-5 minutes per side.
Place carrots, potatoes, and garlic in the slow cooker.
Lay the roast on top, add beef broth, and cover.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
In the last hour, mix cornstarch and water; add to the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
Alternatively, thicken the liquid in a saucepan over high heat for 2-3 minutes.
Pour gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.
