Ingredients (for 4 servings):

2 cloves garlic, minced
225 grams (8 ounces) baby carrots

450 grams (16 ounces) gold potatoes, halved or quartered if large
120 ml (1/2 cup) red wine
1 tablespoon herb and garlic seasoning

15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil
15 ml (1 tablespoon) butter
1/2 sweet yellow onion, sliced

720 ml (3 cups) beef broth
30 grams (1/4 cup) tapioca pearls
30 grams (1/4 cup) cornstarch

30 ml (2 tablespoons) tomato paste

Directions:

Season the chuck roast with herb and garlic seasoning, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.

In a skillet or multi-cooker, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
Brown the seasoned roast on both sides until a golden crust forms. Transfer the roast to the slow cooker, along with the baby carrots and potatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 60 ml (1/4 cup) of water, creating a slurry.

In another bowl, combine the cornstarch slurry, red wine, minced garlic, sliced onion, beef broth, tapioca pearls, and tomato paste. Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the roast, carrots, and potatoes in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the roast is fork-tender.

Once cooked, carefully remove the roast, carrots, and potatoes from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
If desired, strain the remaining liquid from the slow cooker to separate the gravy.
Serve the pot roast with the savory gravy alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!

Notes:

For a twist, you can add other vegetables like mushrooms or celery to the slow cooker.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can increase the amount of cornstarch or tapioca pearls accordingly.

Feel free to adjust the seasoning and herb blend to suit your taste preferences.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a bit of broth if needed to maintain moisture.

Enjoy the incredible flavors and heartwarming experience that our Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Savory Gravy brings to your table.
