Description

A crockpot meal meal loaded with juicy beef, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and a delicious homemade gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 pounds chuck roast
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Pat the 2 Tbsp of flour on the roast and season the roast generously with kosher salt and pepper (about a teaspoon). Add the oil into the pan and swirl around. Add the roast to the pan and sear on both sides (about 5-7 minutes on each side). Place the roast to the slow cooker.
  2. Add the butter into the pan and let it melt. Add in the onions and mushrooms. Saute for 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Pour the broth into the slow cooker. Add in the celery, carrots, potatoes and bay leaf. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the potatoes.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until beef is tender. 
  5. Serve roast and potatoes with the gravy on top. 

Notes

I did the sautéing steps directly inside my slow cooker since it has a stove top setting.
