Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef roast (chuck or brisket)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup milk (for mashed potatoes)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (for mashed potatoes)

How to Make Slow-Cooked Beef Roast with Vegetables

  1. Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms around the roast in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the rosemary and thyme over the top. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, prepare the mashed potatoes. Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Once the beef is done, slice it against the grain and serve it over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes, complemented by the cooked vegetables and broth.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Choose a well-marbled cut of beef for extra tenderness and flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips or celery for variety.
  • Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing to retain juices.

Easy Variations

  • Switch up the herbs by adding fresh parsley or sage.
  • For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the broth.
  • Try different root vegetables such as turnips or sweet potatoes.

What to Serve With It

  • A side salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the roast.
  • Crusty bread for soaking up the delicious broth.
  • Steamed green beans or asparagus for a pop of color and freshness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth to keep the meat moist.
