Zutaten:
- 1 4-pound boneless chuck roast
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch, whisked with 2 Tablespoons water
Arbeitsschritte:
- Trim any excess fat from the roast then season it generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chuck roast and sear it on all sides then transfer it into an 8-quart slow cooker.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the red wine and cook, scraping up any brown bits, for 1 minute. Pour the onion mixture into the slow cooker.
- Add the bay leaves, thyme, carrots and potatoes around the roast. Pour in the beef broth then cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. (Cooking time will vary based on the size and thickness of the roast.)
- Once the roast is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it. Remove the vegetables to a serving platter.
- Transfer the cooking liquid to a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat. (You can strain the liquid first before transferring it, or transfer it as is.) Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and bring the sauce to a boil until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Alternately, you can skip the cornstarch and serve the liquid as an au jus.
- Serve the pot roast with vegetables and gravy.
