Can I use a slow cooker?

Absolutely, This classic Sunday pot roast adapts beautifully to a slow cooker. Just sear the meat first (don't skip this step), then cook on low for 8 hours. Add the potatoes during the last 2 hours so they don't turn to mush.

What if I don't have beef broth?

No worries, Vegetable broth works in a pinch (though the flavor won't be quite as rich). In a real emergency, water with an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce does the trick.

How do I prevent dry meat?

Two keys: 1) Use chuck roast - it has the perfect fat marbling for long cooking, and 2) Don't overcook it. The meat should be fork-tender but not falling apart completely.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
Remove the beef and add onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.
Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer.
Return the beef to the pot, cover, and transfer to the oven.
Cook for 3 hours, then add potatoes and cook for another hour.

Let the beef rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the broth.
