Ingredients
  

3-4 lb beef chuck roast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, quartered

4 cloves garlic, minced

4 large carrots, cut into chunks

3 medium potatoes, quartered (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)

2 cups low-sodium beef broth

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Roast: Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and smoked paprika on all sides.

    Sear the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When hot, sear the roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the roast and place it in a large slow cooker.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the quartered onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

        Add Vegetables: Layer the carrots and potatoes around the roast in the slow cooker. Pour the sautéed onions and garlic over the top.

          Combine Broth: In a bowl, mix the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, then pour it into the slow cooker to cover the meat and vegetables.

            Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours. The meat should be tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

              Finishing Touches: Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and vegetables. Serve sliced or shredded, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside the rich broth as a gravy.

                Prep Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 10 hours | Servings: 6-8

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the pot roast on a large serving platter surrounded by the tender vegetables. Drizzle with some of the broth for added flavor and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
