Steps:
- Place a large skillet on stove top and heat over medium high heat (perferably a non-stick skillet).
- Add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
- Generously sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic salt on all sides of the pot roast.
- Place roast in hot oil on a skillet and let it sear on that side for 2 minutes. Flip the roast over and sear the other side for 2 minutes.
- Depending on the shape of your pot roast, you can sear the other sides if you choose.
- Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place your seared pot roast in the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Using a spatula, scrape the "brown bits" (aka the burnt bits) off the bottom of the skillet as you cook the vegetables (these bits add so much flavor!).
- Cook for about 3 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the vegetables to the slow cooker, spreading the vegetables all around the roast.
- Pour in the beef broth, being sure not to pour it directly on the roast or vegetables because you just cooked them in delicious flavors. Try to pour the beef broth on the sides as much as possible.
- Pour the Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and soy sauce directly on the roast. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary evenly around the meat and vegetables.
- Place the lid on top of the slow cooker and set timer for 8-10 hours on low heat (it will vary based on your slow cooker - mine is done in 8 hours, but some will take longer) or 4-5 hours on high heat (I highly recommend cooking this roast on low - I have never had it turn out as well when I have cooked it on high. Also, you want your house to smell good alllllll day long).
- Remove roast from slow cooker and slice into pieces (it should pretty much fall apart by this point).
- Serve with mashed potatoes and the cooked carrots on the side.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Pat beef with paper towels and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy:
This classic comfort food is easy to make in your slow cooker. Simply add a few simple ingredients, like chuck roast, onions, carrots, celery, and spices, and let it cook low and slow all day. The result is a flavorful and fall-off-the-roast that is perfect for a family meal.
Here are a few tips for making Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy:
- Use a good quality chuck roast. This cut of meat is tough, but the long, slow cooking time in the slow cooker will break down the connective tissue and make it fall-apart-tender.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. The meat and the ingredients should have enough space to cook evenly.
- Add some red wine to the slow cooker. This will add a rich, deep color and a delicious slightly sweet taste to the gravy.
- Use a low-sodium broth. The salt in the broth can make the gravy too salty, so use a low-sodium broth or water.
- Don't open the slow cooker until the meat is fully finished cooking. This will allow the collagen in the meat to completely break down and will make the roast more flavorful.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed or sweet roasted carrots, and green beens.
Conclusion:
Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy is a flavorful and fall-off-the-roast that is perfect for a family meal. This classic comfort food is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that everyone will love.
