Ingredients
This recipe calls for:
- 2 lbs. chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

To make this delicious pot roast, start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with the salt and pepper. Place the chuck roast in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the meat is seared and golden brown. Remove the meat from the skillet and set aside.
Add the flour to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the garlic, onion, celery, and carrot and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and oregano and stir to combine.

Recipe Tips
For best results, use a good quality chuck roast. This cut of meat is ideal for slow cooking as it gets very tender and juicy. Be sure to sear the meat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to lock in the flavor and create a beautiful golden crust.
If you want to add extra flavor, try adding a packet of onion soup mix to the slow cooker. This will give the dish a deep, savory flavor that everyone will love. You can also add a bay leaf for extra depth of flavor.
For a lighter version of this dish, try using a leaner cut of beef such as sirloin or round steak. You can also use low-sodium beef broth and reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. The slow cooker will still create a delicious and tender meal.
This pot roast is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. Just prepare the ingredients in the morning and let the slow cooker do the rest. Serve it with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty French bread and you’ll have a hearty and comforting meal your family will love.
