Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by seasoning the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper, ensuring every side is coated. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and carefully place the roast in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until a beautiful brown crust forms.
  2. In your Crock Pot, start layering the chopped onion, minced garlic, chunked carrots, and diced potatoes. Place the seared chuck roast on top.
  3. Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables, followed by Worcestershire sauce. Add any optional ingredients like red wine or fresh herbs.
  4. Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the roast and vegetables. Let the roast rest for about 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
