How To Make slow cooker pot roast

  • 1
    Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add olive oil. Season beef on both sides with salt and pepper. Brown beef in frying pan, 5 minutes on each side.
  • 2
    While beef is cooking, put onions, carrots, parsnips, mushrooms, thyme, bay, garlic and seasoning in 6 quart crock pot. (I used Penzey's Old World, which is a blend of spices including paprika, dill, celery salt, garlic, and more. But this will be good with whatever seasoning blend you like!)
  • 3
    When beef is browned, put in crock on top of veggies. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook on low for 8 hours.
  • 4
    Remove meat and vegetables from crock. Strain/skim broth. Add cornstarch to broth, put in small saucepan, and bring to boil to thicken.
  • 5
    I served this over buttered egg noodles.
