Ingredients
- (3) potatoes
- (4) carrots
- (2) celery stalks
- (3 lbs) Chuck Roast
- salt and pepper
- (2 Tbsp) olive oil
- (3/4 cup) water (or beef broth)
- (1 Tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
- (1 tsp) beef bouillon (if using water instead of broth)
- (1 tsp) dried basil
Directions
- You can opt to peel the carrots and potatoes if you like after washing. Otherwise, just go ahead and dice the potatoes and slice the carrots.
- Peel the onion and dice it up, as well.
- Trim the celery ends, and slice the stalks.
- Drizzle a bit of olive oil on the bottom of the slow cooker-just enough to keep the vegetables from sticking, then add the vegetables.
- Rub the roast with salt and pepper to your liking. Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set atop the vegetables in the crock pot.
- Combine water and bouillon (or just beef broth) with Worcestershire sauce and basil. Then, pour over meat and vegetables in crock pot.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours, or until the beef shreds easily and vegetables are soft. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
