This Crockpot Pot Roast is a tender, flavorful slow-cooked beef recipe perfect for a comforting meal. Using grass-fed chuck roast seasoned with thyme, salt, and pepper, and combined with carrots, onion, and bone broth, it slowly cooks to perfection in a crockpot. The long cooking time breaks down collagen for a melt-in-your-mouth texture, ideal for family dinners or meal prepping.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 – 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 lb grass-fed chuck roast
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1.5 cups bone broth
  • 3 loose carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 white onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Roast: Press sea salt and pepper into both sides of the chuck roast to generously season the meat, enhancing its natural flavors.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot: Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the crockpot to prevent sticking and add richness.
  3. Layer Ingredients: Place the seasoned chuck roast into the crockpot followed by the chopped onion, peeled and chopped carrots, bone broth, and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon thyme over everything.
  4. Cook the Roast: Cover the crockpot and cook for 6 hours on high heat or 8 hours on low heat. This slow cooking process breaks down the connective tissue, making the meat tender.
  5. Flip the Roast: About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, flip the roast once to ensure even cooking and moisture distribution.
  6. Check for Tenderness: The roast should easily fall apart when done. If not, continue cooking in 30-minute increments on low heat until tender to your liking.
  7. Final Rest: Once tender, reduce heat to low and let the pot roast finish slow cooking and absorbing flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking time varies depending on crockpot heat setting: 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
  • If the roast isn’t tender enough after the suggested time, continue cooking in 30-minute intervals.
  • Flipping the roast during the last part of cooking ensures even tenderness and heat distribution.
