Ingredients
  

  • 900 grams 2 pounds chuck roast
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
