DirectionsGet to the point
1Hard-sear a 3 lb beef chuck roast in a smoking hot skillet for 3 mins per side.
2Layer 1.5 lbs halved potatoes, 4 sliced carrots, and 1 sliced onion in bottom of slow cooker.
3Place seared roast on top and pour over 1 cup beef broth, 2 tbsp Worcestershire, and garlic herbs.
4Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours until beef pulls apart with two forks.
Dad pro tip

Always take 6 minutes to hard-sear the chuck roast in a screaming hot skillet before putting it in the crockpot. A grey, unseared roast produces pale, watery gravy; a hard sear yields deep, rich French-bistro level pot roast.

Kid adjustment

Tender shredded chuck beef and sweet slow-cooked carrots are a natural hit with toddlers. Mash potatoes with a fork and gravy.

Reheat

Reheat beef and vegetables in microwave for 90 seconds or simmer in a covered pot with gravy for 5 minutes.
