Ingredients

Scale

For the Roast:

  • 3–4 lbs beef chuck roast (boneless)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 tbsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 cup mushrooms, halved

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1 ½ cups cauliflower florets

  • 1 cup green beans (optional, add near end)

  • ½ small onion, sliced thin (optional)

For the Broth:

  • 2 cups beef broth (no sugar added)

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Optional:

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Sear the Meat: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat roast dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear each side 3–4 minutes until browned.

  2. Add Veggies: Place mushrooms, celery, and cauliflower in the bottom of the slow cooker.

  3. Add Roast: Put the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

  4. Mix Broth: In a small bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and smoked paprika. Pour over roast.

  5. Cook: Add butter on top of meat, cover, and cook on Low for 8–9 hours or High for 5–6 hours until tender.

  6. Add Green Beans: If using, add green beans during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  7. Serve: Remove roast, shred with forks, and serve with vegetables and broth.

Notes

  • If the sauce is thin, remove lid for last 30 minutes to thicken.

  • For creamier sauce, stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream before serving.

  • Add bacon or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

  • Leftovers taste even better the next day and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
