Indulge in the warm embrace of a classic comfort meal that cooks while you work, play, or relax at home. Ideal for those who cherish a flavorful, home-cooked dinner without the fuss.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 large carrots, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 3 lbs chuck roast

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Generously season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it is beautifully browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Afterwards, transfer the roast to your slow cooker.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for about 2 minutes or until they are soft and translucent. Transfer them to the slow cooker, placing them around the roast.
3. Scatter the carrots and baby potatoes around the roast. Pour the beef broth over the vegetables and roast. Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir lightly to mix the ingredients.
4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. The dish is ready when the meat is tender and effortlessly shreds with a fork.
5. Serve hot, ensuring each plate is filled with succulent roast, flavorful vegetables, and a ladle of the rich, savory broth. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a bright, herbal finish to this comforting dish.
