Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
  • 1 cup carrots, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Begin by cutting the chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Make sure each piece is roughly the same size for even cooking. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully add the cubed chuck roast in batches (if necessary) to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 3-4 minutes, or until each side is browned. This step locks in those delicious juices and adds flavor.
  3. Once browned, transfer the meat to your slow cooker. Season with 1 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well to coat the meat evenly.
  4. Add the halved baby potatoes, chopped carrots, and chopped onion to the slow cooker. Gently mix them with the seasoned meat, ensuring everything is well-distributed.
  5. In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in the microwave (approximately 30-40 seconds). Once melted, stir in 8 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Pour this garlic butter sauce over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  6. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and add 1 bay leaf to the mixture. The liquid should just cover the ingredients to ensure even cooking. Stir gently but avoid breaking up the potatoes.
  7. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. You’ll know it’s done when the meat is fork-tender and the potatoes are cooked through but not mushy.
  8. Once finished, remove the bay leaf and garnish the dish with 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the delightful aroma and vibrant colors!
