Instructions
Creating an Easy Crock Pot Beef Roast is a simple process. Just follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Sear the Meat (Optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef roast for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds extra flavor but is not necessary.
3. Add Vegetables: Place the sliced carrots, potatoes, and chopped onion at the bottom of the crockpot.
4. Add Garlic: Sprinkle minced garlic over the vegetables.
5. Place the Beef: Put the seasoned beef roast on top of the vegetables.
6. Mix Broth and Seasonings: In a separate bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.
7. Cover and Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
8. Add Peas (Optional): If using, add the frozen peas during the last hour of cooking for added color and nutrition.
9. Check for Doneness: The beef should be fork-tender and easily shred with a fork.
10. Serve: Once cooked, remove the beef roast and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the vegetables and ladle some of the broth over the top.
These steps will guide you in creating a hearty and delicious Easy Crock Pot Beef Roast that will impress everyone around your table.
