The bowl is filled with generous chunks of tender beef, vibrant orange carrots, creamy yellow potatoes, and caramelized onions, all immersed in a rich, savory brown gravy. A sprig of fresh rosemary sits elegantly on top, while a slice of golden-brown crispy garlic bread leans against the bowl’s rim.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet For browning beef and sautéing vegetables
  • Slow Cooker For slow cooking the pot roast
  • Wooden Spoon For stirring the stew

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into chunks
  • 3 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth low sodium
  • 1 stick unsalted butter melted
  • 1 sprig rosemary fresh
  • 1 sprig thyme fresh
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for browning beef

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef chunks for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the onions, garlic, and carrots for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the beef broth and melted butter to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker with the beef.
  • Add the rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything together and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  • Once the beef is tender and the flavors have melded, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a handful of **mushrooms** to the stew.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, make a slurry by mixing cornstarch with water and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • This stew can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge, allowing the flavors to develop even further.
