Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb beef chuck roast (halal)
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 carrots, cut into chunks
- 4–5 potatoes, quartered
- 3 cups beef broth (halal, gluten free)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and herbs.
- Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Add onion, carrots, and potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot.
- Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
- Pour beef broth over everything.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- Slice or shred the roast and serve warm with vegetables and rich cooking juices.
Notes
- Halal-friendly ingredients: confirm halal certification for the beef and broth if required.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days; reheat gently.
- For a quicker result, you can cook on HIGH for 4–5 hours, but the beef will be less tender.
- To keep it gluten-free, use gluten-free beef broth and ensure any added seasonings are gluten-free.
- Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
