Description

This Easy Crock Pot Beef Roast recipe is a classic slow cooker pot roast that delivers tender, juicy, and flavorful beef with minimal prep. Perfect for comforting family dinners, the beef is seasoned simply with garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and slow-cooked on a bed of onions in beef broth for a rich, savory meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Roast

  • 1 whole 2-3 lb beef roast

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, sliced

Liquids

  • 2 cups beef broth

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the roast: Remove the beef roast from its packaging and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure a good sear and to keep the meat from steaming during cooking.
  2. Arrange onions and roast: Slice the large onion into thick pieces and place them evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the beef roast on top of the sliced onions to infuse flavor and prevent sticking.
  3. Season the roast: Sprinkle kosher salt, pepper, garlic salt, and thyme evenly over the roast to season thoroughly for enhanced taste.
  4. Add broth: Carefully pour 2 cups of beef broth around the sides of the roast, making sure not to wash off the seasoning on top. This will provide moisture for slow cooking.
  5. Cook in slow cooker: Cover with the crock pot lid and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and infused with flavor.
  6. Rest and serve: Once cooked, remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes to help juices redistribute. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the flavorful drippings or gravy over the roast before serving.

Notes

  • The slow cooker method ensures a juicy, tender roast with minimal hands-on time.
  • Using a bed of sliced onions adds a subtle sweetness and depth to the dish.
  • Letting the roast rest before slicing helps maintain its juiciness.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or vegetables to make a complete meal.
