How to make Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Prepare the Broth Mixture

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and paprika until smooth. Set aside.

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown.

  3. Step 3

    Deglaze the pan with wine. Add juices to the sauce mixture after deglazing.

Layer the Slow Cooker

  1. Step 1

    Place quartered potatoes, carrot chunks, smashed garlic, and onion quarters at the bottom of the slow cooker.

  2. Step 2

    Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

  3. Step 3

    Lay 1–2 sprigs of fresh rosemary over the roast.

Add Broth Mixture

    Pour the prepared broth/seasoning mixture evenly over the meat and vegetables.

Cook
