This slow cooker beef roast with potatoes and carrots is the ultimate easy, family-friendly dinner. Juicy beef coated in a dijon-herb seasoning cooks low and slow until tender, while hearty onions, potatoes, and carrots soak up all the rich flavors for a comforting, no-fuss meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 pound carrots, cut into large, 2 inch chunks
  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, left whole
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 – 4 pound chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, optional

Instructions

  1. In a 6 quart slow cooker, add onion, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and beef broth.
  2. In a bowl, combine dijon mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
  3. Brush mustard paste on all sides of beef roast and place in slow cooker on top of vegetables.
  4. Cover and cook on low for about 8-10 hours (or high for 5-6 hours), or until beef roast is tender. Time depends on the size and shape of the roast you’re using.
  5. Optionally, whisk together cornstarch and 1-2 tablespoons of water.
  6. Remove roast from slow cooker and add the cornstarch mixture to the beef broth, stirring to thicken into a gravy.

Notes

  • For best texture, leave baby potatoes whole or cut larger potatoes into halves or quarters. Slice carrots into big chunks about 2 inches long.
  • If your roast is bigger than 3 to 4 pounds, expect the cooking time to increase.
  • Beef roast is a tougher, fattier cut, which makes it perfect for long, slow cooking.
  • Avoid lifting the lid, as it lets heat escape and can significantly increase cooking time.
  • Leftover beef roast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
  • Cooked beef roast can be frozen in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months.
