Ingredients

  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (4 lb/2 kg)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Tip: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.
  • Tip 2
    Planned Overs: If you're lucky enough to have leftovers from this flavour-packed roast, add up to 2 cups cut-up beef and onions to a 16-ounce jar of tomato pasta sauce for the best "mamma mia!" spaghetti sauce!
