How to Make
Cut your chuck roast into 2-inch pieces to ensure even cooking.
Sear the beef pieces in a heated skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Layer the ingredients in your slow cooker: seared beef at the bottom, followed by chopped potatoes, sliced carrots, and diced onions.
Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the vegetables and beef. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Pour the beef broth over the ingredients, covering the meat and veggies.
Set your slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
Taste the broth about 30 minutes before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve by ladling the beef and potatoes into bowls, garnishing with fresh parsley.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
