How to Make Pot Roast

  1. Step 1

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

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

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

  5. 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).

  6. Step 6

    Serve the meat with a serving of vegetables and enjoy.
