How to Make Pot Roast

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, rosemary and salt. Season chuck roast with black pepper mixture.
Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add roast and sear to brown, about 4 minutes per side.
Step 3

Transfer roast to a slow cooker and add beef stock, water, wine, bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Scatter potatoes, carrots, onion and celery on top.
Step 4

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
Step 5

Discard the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Transfer meat to a cutting board and either cut with a sharp knife or shred with two forks (Note: you will know the meat is done when it falls apart).
Step 6

Serve the meat with a serving of vegetables and enjoy.
