A simple and comforting crockpot chuck roast cooked low and slow with garlic, fresh herbs, and vegetables, resulting in tender meat and rich garlic herb gravy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 6–8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or cornstarch/arrowroot powder for gluten-free)

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: Peel and chop carrots into large chunks, halve baby potatoes, and slice the onion. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Season the roast: Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels. Rub the entire surface with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic. Sprinkle half the chopped rosemary and thyme over it.
  3. Layer the crockpot: Place the seasoned roast in the bottom of the crockpot. Arrange the prepared vegetables around and on top of the roast. Scatter the remaining garlic and herbs over everything.
  4. Add broth and flour: Pour 2 cups (480 ml) of beef broth evenly over the roast and vegetables. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of flour over the broth and stir gently with a spoon to combine.
  5. Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the roast is fork-tender and vegetables are soft. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
  6. Check for doneness: Use a fork to test the tenderness of the roast. Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Rest before serving: Remove the roast and vegetables onto a serving platter. Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Stir the gravy in the crockpot and spoon over the meat and veggies.

Notes

If gravy is too thin, transfer to a saucepan and simmer to thicken or whisk in a slurry of flour and cold water and cook on high for 15-20 minutes. For gluten-free, replace flour with cornstarch or arrowroot powder. Avoid lifting the crockpot lid during cooking to maintain heat. Rest roast before slicing to keep juices locked in.
