Hearty Family Slow Cooker Meal with Tender Beef and Vegetables

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 medium carrots, sliced
• 3 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker, followed by the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
3. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
4. Sprinkle the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper over the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat for 8-10 hours or high heat for 4-6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
6. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot with crusty bread or over rice.
