Full Recipe:

Ingredients 

• 2 lb beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2‑in pieces

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tsp dried thyme

• 1 tsp dried rosemary

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

• 2 cups baby carrots

• 4 slices bread, toasted (for serving)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 

Directions

1. Brown the Beef
   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper, then brown them in batches, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker. 

2. Sauté Aromatics
   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes until softened. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any browned bits. 

3. Combine Ingredients
   Pour the broth mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Add thyme, rosemary, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine. 

4. Add Vegetables
   Add the potatoes and baby carrots to the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat them with the broth. 

5. Slow Cook
   Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the beef is incredibly tender and the flavors have melded beautifully. 

6. Toast and Serve
   When ready, toast the bread slices until golden. Serve the beef and vegetables over the toasted bread, spooning the rich gravy on top. Garnish with fresh parsley for color and extra flavor.
