Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups baby carrots

To Serve

  • 4 slices of bread, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add broth and seasonings: Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Stir in dried thyme, dried rosemary, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Add vegetables: Add potato chunks and baby carrots to the slow cooker, gently stirring to combine with the beef and broth mixture.
  5. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Prepare bread and serve: Toast bread slices until golden brown. Serve slow-cooked beef and vegetables over toasted bread, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the broth mixture.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, remove some cooking liquid towards the end and simmer on the stove to reduce.
  • Feel free to substitute baby carrots with regular carrots cut into chunks.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when browning beef to achieve a good sear.
  • This dish can be made a day ahead and reheated; flavors improve after resting.
