Here’s a classic recipe for a Tender Slow-Cooked Beef Roast 🥩 that’s perfect for a comforting meal:
Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
- 3–4 lb Beef Chuck Roast
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 3–4 Carrots, cut into chunks
- 3 Celery Stalks, cut into chunks
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Beef Broth
- 1/2 cup Red Wine (optional, can replace with more broth)
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (dried or fresh)
- 2 teaspoons Rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Sear the Roast
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides until browned (about 3–4 minutes per side).
- Transfer to slow cooker.
- Prepare Vegetables
- Place onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker or around the roast.
- Add Liquid and Herbs
- Pour in beef broth and red wine.
- Sprinkle thyme and rosemary over the top.
- Slow Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
- Serve
- Remove the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with vegetables and a drizzle of the cooking juices. Optional: thicken the juices with a slurry of cornstarch and water to make gravy.
✅ Tip:
For extra flavor, add 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the liquid, or toss in potatoes for a complete one-pot meal.
I can also give you a recipe for slow-cooked beef roast with balsamic and garlic for a slightly sweet and tangy flavor if you want a variation.
