Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 4.5 pounds boneless chuck roast
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 0.125 pounds yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into finger length pieces
  • 4 stalks celery diced
  • 1.5 teaspoons dry oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dry thyme

  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Dredge the beef. In a large, shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the beef in the flour mixture to coat all sides.
  2. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Add the beef to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Transfer the beef to your crockpot and set aside.
  3. Add the onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes on medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery to the bottom of your crockpot and place the seared chuck roast on top.
  5. Mix rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, celery seed, mustard powder, brown sugar, and beef broth. Pour it over the meat.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. The beef will become tender and flavorful.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
