👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Ingredients

Wash and chop the vegetables. Slice onions and mince garlic.

2. Layer the Base

Place potatoes, carrots, and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.

3. Add the Beef

Place the chuck roast on top of the vegetables.

4. Season Well

Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs over the meat.

5. Add Liquid

Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast.
(Do not add too much liquid—slow cookers retain moisture.)

6. Slow Cook

• Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours
• Or HIGH for 4–5 hours

The meat is ready when it becomes fork-tender and easily shreds.

7. Optional Gravy

Remove some liquid, mix with cornstarch slurry, and simmer until thickened.

8. Serve

Shred or slice the beef and serve with vegetables and gravy.

🍽️ Tips for Best Results

• Sear the beef before slow cooking for deeper flavor (optional)
• Don’t rush the cooking, tough meat becomes tender only after long cooking
• Avoid opening the lid frequently to maintain temperature
