How to Make Bek S Pot Roast Crock Pot

  1. Chop vegetables: dice onion, carrots, and celery. Slice mushrooms (if using).
  2. Layer crock-pot: Place chopped vegetables in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. Add the roast: Place the beef chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
  4. Season generously: Season the roast with salt and pepper.
  5. Add water: Pour 3 tablespoons of water into the crock-pot.
  6. Slow cook: Cook on low for 10-12 hours, or on high for 6-8 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  7. Remove and keep warm: Remove the meat and vegetables to a large serving dish or bowl. Cover to keep warm.
  8. Make the gravy: In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together 3 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth.
  9. Whisk in juices: Gradually whisk in the hot juices from the crock-pot into the flour mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  10. Combine: Once the measuring cup is full, pour the gravy mixture back into the crock-pot and stir to combine with the remaining juices.
  11. Serve: Pour gravy over the meat and vegetables, or serve gravy on the side. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
