Slow Cooker Garlic Herb Beef Roast

Ingredients

• 3.5 lb beef chuck roast
• 1 onion (large, sliced)
• 9 garlic cloves (peeled)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• salt (to taste)
• black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Season the beef chuck roast generously with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper on all sides.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms.

3. 3

   Place the sliced onion and peeled garlic cloves in the bottom of the slow cooker.

4. 4

   Place the seared beef roast on top of the onions and garlic.

5. 5

   In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker around the roast (not directly over the seasoning).

6. 6

   Place the butter on top of the roast.

7. 7

   Cover and cook on Low for 8–10 hours or on High for 5–6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

8. 8

   Remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred or slice. Serve with the juices and cooked onions/garlic from the pot.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, you can whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the slow cooker juices during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
