Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast Recipe (see short version below)

Makes 8 servings

Cooking time: 8 hours and 35 minutes

Ingredients: 4 pounds (1.9 kg) beef chuck roast, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, 1 large yellow onion, 5 garlic cloves, 5 carrots, 3 celery stalks, 1 cup (250 ml) dry red wine, 3 cups (750 ml) low-sodium beef broth, 1/3 cup (80 ml) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried rosemary leaves, 1½ teaspoons (8 ml) dried thyme leaves, 2 pounds (960 g) potatoes

Instructions: Wash the beef chuck roast under running cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season meat with salt and black pepper generously.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the seasoned beef and cook until nicely browned on all sides, for about 7 minutes. Remove browned meat from the skillet and transfer to 6- a quart (6 L) slow cooker.

Peel and dice yellow onion, then peel and smash garlic cloves. Add vegetables to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally until onion is nicely browned, for about 2 minutes.

Pour in dry red wine and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the vegetable mixture has reduced by half. Remove the vegetable-wine mixture from the skillet and pour over the cooked beef in the slow cooker.

In a small mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and 1 cup (250 ml) of beef broth. Mix well and pour into the slow cooker.

Peel and cut into chunks of carrots. Wash and cut celery stalks. Add the remaining 2 cups (500 ml) of the beef broth to the cooker, and stir in carrots, celery, rosemary, and thyme. Cover the pot and cook in a low-heat setting for 5 hours.

Open the lid and stir in peeled and chunked potatoes. Cover the cooker again and cook in a low-heat setting for a further 3 hours.

Turn off the slow cooker and open the lid. Stir the beef-vegetable mixture well, then remove it from the pot and transfer it to serving plates. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.
