How to Make Beef Pot Roast In Crock Pot Slow Cooker

  1. Trim excess fat from a 3-4 lb beef chuck roast.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Dredge the beef roast in the flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Place 1 large chopped onion and 2 chopped celery stalks in your slow cooker. Pour in 2 cups beef broth and add the browned roast.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  7. Remove the beef from the slow cooker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  8. To make the gravy: Pour the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Using an immersion blender, puree the liquid until smooth.
  9. Bring the pureed liquid to a simmer over low heat.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth.
  11. Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly until thickened.
  12. Slice the rested beef and serve it with the gravy and your favorite sides, such as roasted root vegetables (recipe #192237 suggested!) and steamed broccoli.
