Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
3 lb Chuck Roast
Salt and pepper to taste
1-1/2 cups Baby Carrots
2 lbs potatoes cubed
1 onion roughly chopped
2 cups beef broth (or beef bone broth)
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire
2 Tablespoons homemade taco seasoning or a little over half a store bought packet
3 Tablespoons ranch seasoning
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Make The Seasoning Rub: In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning and Italian or Greek Seasoning. Rub the seasoning mix all over the roast.
Sear The Roast: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
Add To Slow Cooker: Place the roast in the bottom of a 6-quart Crockpot. Add potatoes, carrots, and onion around and on top of the roast.
Add Liquid: In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour evenly over the roast and veggies.
Cook Low and Slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until fork-tender and falling apart.
Rest and Serve: Let the roast rest 10 minutes before shredding so the juices stay put. Serve with veggies and spoon extra gravy on top.

Notes

Pro Tips For Success:

- Sear for flavor – Don’t skip this step. It builds that crave-worthy crust.

- Chunk your veggies – Big cuts prevent mushy potatoes and carrots.

- Adjust seasoning at the end – Taste the gravy before serving and add salt or broth as needed.

- Reduce Salt – Make your own Homemade Taco Seasoning and Greek Seasoning.

Let it rest – Give it 10 minutes to settle before shredding so the juices stay put.

How To Store Leftover Chuck Roast?

- Fridge: Let the roast cool. Then you have a couple of options. 1) Either wrap the roast in plastic and foil, or 2) Place the roast in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- Freezer: If you're going to freeze the roast, if possible, it is best to freeze on the same day as you serve. You can either freeze the roast whole, or freeze slices of roast beef, or shred the roast and combine with a sauce like barbecue sauce, and freeze in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for up to 3 months.
