Description
The easiest way to get juicy, tender roast beef! This slow cooker recipe makes a flavorful, fall-apart chuck roast with simple spices and minimal prep.
Ingredients
2–3 lb chuck or shoulder beef roast
1 chopped onion
¾ cup bone broth (or water or red wine)
Sea salt, to taste
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp granulated garlic
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp allspice
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the beef roast. Season with sea salt, pepper, granulated garlic, turmeric, oregano, thyme, cumin, and allspice.
Add chopped onion to the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast for 2–3 minutes per side, including edges.
Transfer the roast to the slow cooker.
Turn off the skillet and pour in ¾ cup of bone broth (or liquid of choice). Scrape the bottom to deglaze, then pour the liquid into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until meat is fall-apart tender.
Notes
Browning the roast and deglazing the pan enhances flavor, but these steps can be skipped for convenience.
For more gravy, increase the liquid up to 1½ cups total.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
