The Best boneless beef chuck roast crock pot recipe

I love making boneless beef chuck roast in the crock pot. It is one of those meals that makes the whole house smell amazing and everyone comes running to the kitchen. My family absolutely loves how tender the beef gets after hours of slow cooking, and I love how easy it is to put together in the morning. You just toss everything in the pot, set it, and forget it until dinner time.

This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or lazy weekends when you want a hearty meal without a lot of fuss. The beef chuck roast is a budget friendly cut that becomes incredibly soft and flavorful when cooked low and slow. It is also packed with protein and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, making it a healthy choice for feeding your family. Plus, the leftovers are just as good the next day, if there are any left.

I have tried many roast recipes over the years, but this one is my go to because it always turns out perfectly. The meat shreds easily with a fork and the rich gravy is so good over mashed potatoes or rice. Even my picky eaters clean their plates when I make this, which is always a win in my book.

🥘Ingredients

For the Roast

3 to 4 pound boneless beef chuck roast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

For the Gravy

1 cup beef broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, sliced
3 carrots, cut into chunks
3 celery stalks, cut into chunks
2 bay leaves

👨‍🍳Directions

1Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear the roast for 3 to 4 minutes per side until browned.
3Place the sliced onion, carrots, and celery in the bottom of the crock pot. Put the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
4In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and minced garlic. Pour this mixture over the roast.
5Add bay leaves on top. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is fork tender.
6Carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot. Discard the bay leaves. Shred the beef with two forks or slice it against the grain.
7Optional: To make a thicker gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer until reduced, or whisk in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and cook until thickened.
8Serve the beef and vegetables with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Boneless Beef Chuck Roast Crock Pot

1. Can I cook the roast on high instead of low?

Yes, you can cook it on high for 4 to 5 hours. The meat will still be tender, but cooking on low for longer usually results in a more tender and flavorful roast.

2. Do I have to sear the meat first?

Searing is not strictly necessary, but it adds a lot of flavor by browning the outside of the meat. If you are short on time, you can skip this step and the roast will still be good.

3. Can I add potatoes to the crock pot?

Yes, you can add potatoes. Cut them into chunks and add them with the other vegetables. Keep in mind that potatoes can get very soft if cooked for the full time, so you might want to add them halfway through cooking.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover beef and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the shredded beef in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

5. What can I serve with this roast?

This roast is great over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. You can also serve it with crusty bread or a side of steamed green beans for a complete meal.
