An easy and comforting slow cooker pot roast made with just five simple ingredients, perfect for a cozy Sunday dinner that fills your home with warmth and rich flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for searing)

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
  3. While searing, peel and cut carrots into large chunks and quarter the onion.
  4. Place carrots and onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Lay the seared roast on top.
  5. Pour 2 cups of low-sodium beef broth over the ingredients, drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the roast, and tuck fresh rosemary sprigs around the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. Check doneness by poking with a fork or using a meat thermometer (internal temperature about 190°F).
  8. Remove roast and vegetables, let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Optionally strain and reduce cooking liquid on stovetop for thicker gravy or serve as is.

Notes

Searing the roast before slow cooking adds rich flavor and better texture. Avoid overcrowding the slow cooker for even cooking. Let the roast rest before slicing to lock in juices. Adjust salt carefully as broth and Worcestershire sauce add saltiness. For thicker gravy, reduce cooking liquid on stovetop with cornstarch slurry.
