How to Make Pot Roast

Start by mixing all the seasonings in a small bowl. Coat the beef with oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix. Pat onto the skin. Flip it over and do the same on the other side.

Step 2:

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons on a skillet over heat. Once the oil is hot, add the beef and cook until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side.

Step 3:

Transfer the seared beef onto your crock pot. Add the carrots, potatoes, onion, thyme, minced garlic, beef cubes, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, gravy seasonings, and cornstarch slurry. Cover with foil, and place the lid. Cook for 3 hours at 350F.
