Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or non-stick spray)
- 3 pound boneless beef chuck roast
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
Vegetables
- 1 onion, chopped into large chunks
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 5 medium carrots, peeled and cut or baby carrots
- 2 celery stalks, cut into large pieces
Liquids
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Add olive oil to the bottom of the slow cooker or spray it with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Add the Roast and Onions: Place the boneless beef chuck roast inside the slow cooker and add the chopped onions around it.
- Season the Roast: Sprinkle half of the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top of the roast, pressing some of the mix into the meat to help it adhere and infuse flavor.
- Add Vegetables and Remaining Seasoning: Arrange the garlic cloves, baby potatoes, carrots, and celery on top of the roast. Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix over the vegetables to season them well.
- Add Beef Broth and Cook: Pour the low sodium beef broth into the slow cooker. Place the lid securely on top and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
Notes
- For best results, use a well-marbled chuck roast for tenderness and flavor.
- You can substitute other root vegetables such as parsnips or turnips if desired.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Use low sodium beef broth to control the saltiness of the dish.
