Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 kg beef chuck roast (or brisket)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 500g potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 200g baby button mushrooms, halved
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove the beef from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato puree and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in the beef stock and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Place the potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. Top with the sautéed vegetables and then place the seared beef on top. Pour the beef stock mixture over the beef.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. Cooking times vary depending on your slow cooker.
  • During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the halved mushrooms to the crockpot.
  • Remove the beef from the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Serve the shredded beef and vegetables with the sauce from the crockpot.
