How to make Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Prepare the Broth Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and paprika until smooth. Set aside.
Sear the Beef
Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and a little onion powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
Layer the Slow Cooker
Place quartered potatoes, carrot chunks, smashed garlic, and onion quarters at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
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
Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4.5–5 hours until the beef is tender and easily shreds.
