Lazy Sunday Pot Roast

I would recommend browning your meat, and sauteing your vegetables before placing them in the slow-cooker. This just adds some extra flavor. If you are in a hurry, you can always skip these steps and your roast will still be tender and juicy!

Lazy Sunday Pot Roast

3-4 lbs. beef chuck roast
2 T. ghee Butter
1 cup beef stock base
3 cloves garlic
1 whole onion, sliced
3 whole carrots, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. paprika
sea salt to taste
black pepper to taste

Coat chuck roast with oregano, paprika and cumin. Salt and pepper generously.

Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a heavy bottomed pan. Saute onions until translucent.

Add garlic, carrots and celery and saute for a few minutes until fragrant. Move all vegetables into the slow-cooker.

Heat remaining tablespoon of ghee in the same pan. Brown roast on all sides – a few minutes per a side. Move to slow-cooker.

Add beef stock and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 

Salt and pepper before serving.
