How to Make Beef Pot Roast Crock Pot Style

  1. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Sear the beef roast in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step helps develop rich flavor.
  3. Place the seared beef roast in your crock-pot.
  4. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the crock-pot.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Add the bay leaves.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  8. Remove the beef roast from the crock-pot and shred it with two forks.
  9. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
  10. Thicken the cooking liquid (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk the mixture into the cooking liquid in the crock-pot. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until thickened.
  11. Return the shredded beef to the crock-pot and stir to combine with the gravy.
  12. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
