Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping your vegetables (carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic) into bite-sized pieces as you prepare to build your flavorful base.
Sear the Roast (Optional): For an extra depth of flavor, consider searing the beef chuck roast in a hot pan with a little oil until browned on all sides. This step is not essential but can enhance the final result!
Layer the Ingredients: Place the beef chuck roast at the bottom of the slow cooker. Surround it with the chopped carrots, cubed potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Mix the Broth: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to mix all the flavors together.
Pour Over the Ingredients: Carefully pour the broth mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated.
Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and slice it. Serve warm with the delicious vegetables and broth!
