What is Crockpot Chuck Roast?

Crockpot Chuck Roast is a tender and flavorful dish made from a cut of beef (chuck roast), which comes from the shoulder of the cow. This cut is known for its rich marbling, which makes it perfect for slow cooking. When cooked in a crockpot, the meat becomes incredibly tender and juicy, while the vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions soak up all the flavors. The slow cooking process enhances the natural taste of the meat and infuses it with herbs and seasonings, creating a nice, melt-in-your-mouth meal that’s both hearty and delicious.

How to Make Crockpot Chuck Roast?

Prepare the Ingredients

Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides to enhance the flavor of the meat.

Sear the Roast

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chuck roast on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. This step locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor.

Layer the Crockpot

Place the carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic at the bottom of the crockpot. These veggies will soak up the flavors from the beef.

Add the Roast

Lay the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.

Pour the Broth

Mix the beef broth with Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary, then pour it over the roast and vegetables.

Cook

Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The slow cooking process will make the beef melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Shred and Serve

Once done, shred the roast with two forks and serve it alongside the veggies and some of the flavorful broth.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

Helpful Tips!

Choose the right cut: A chuck roast is ideal for slow cooking because it’s marbled with fat, which keeps it moist and tender.
Don’t skip searing: It adds an extra layer of flavor to your roast.
Thicken the broth: If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and stir it into the crockpot during the last hour of cooking.
Prep ahead: You can chop the veggies the night before to save time in the morning.

What to Serve with Crockpot Chuck Roast?

Crockpot Chuck Roast is delicious on its own, but there are many tasty sides that pair perfectly with it. I love serving it with a crisp Caesar salad, which adds a nice crunch and freshness. You can also try it with avocado cucumber salsa for a cool and refreshing side. Mashed potatoes or buttered noodles are great choices to soak up the flavorful broth from the roast. And also Roasted vegetables like green beans or Brussels sprouts make a healthy and tasty addition.
