Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast 🥩🥕🥔
Tender, flavorful, and so easy to make!
Ingredients:
3 lb chuck roast
2–3 tbsp olive oil
1–2 tbsp steak seasoning
½ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
1–2 tbsp garlic & onion seasoning blend
1 tsp chicken bouillon or salt, to taste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 onion, chopped
3–4 cloves garlic, minced
3–4 potatoes, cut into chunks
3–4 carrots, cut into chunks
Water, as needed
Instructions:
Season the roast:
Pat the chuck roast dry and coat it generously with olive oil. Season all over with steak seasoning, cayenne pepper, garlic & onion blend, and chicken bouillon or salt.
Sear the meat:
Heat a little olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned. This helps build lots of flavor.
Sauté the vegetables:
Remove the roast and set aside. In the same pot, add the garlic, onion, potatoes, and carrots. Season with the same seasonings used on the roast. Add the smoked paprika, soy sauce, and red wine vinegar. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add everything to the slow cooker:
Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Add the vegetables on top and around the meat.
Add water:
Pour in enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the roast. You don't need to cover the meat completely.
Slow cook:
HIGH: Cook for about 6 hours
LOW: Cook for about 8 hours
The roast should be very tender and easy to pull apart with a fork.
Serve:
Spoon the tender vegetables and roast onto a plate, then drizzle some of the flavorful cooking juices over everything. Serve hot and enjoy! 🤤
