This Crock Pot Roast with Gravy is a comforting, slow-cooked meal where a beef roast becomes fork-tender and is served with a rich, savory homemade gravy. It’s the perfect make-ahead dinner for busy days or family gatherings.

  • Total Time: 8–10 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3–4 lb beef roast (chuck, rump, or pot roast)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth or stock
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or flour (for thickening gravy)
  • 2 tbsp cold water (for slurry)

Instructions

  1. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a hot skillet, sear the roast on all sides until browned.
  3. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.
  4. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and herbs around the meat.
  5. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste if using. Liquid should come about halfway up the roast.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or on HIGH for 4–5 hours until fork-tender.
  7. Remove the roast and vegetables; cover to keep warm.
  8. Strain cooking liquid into a saucepan.
  9. Mix cornstarch or flour with cold water to make a slurry and whisk into pan juices over medium heat.
  10. Cook until gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Slice or shred the roast, serve with veggies, and drizzle with gravy.

Notes

  • Add potatoes to the crock pot for a full one-pot meal.
  • Use red wine in place of some broth for added depth.
  • Mushrooms or pearl onions add a veggie twist.
  • Gravy can be thickened with a roux instead of cornstarch.
  • Searing the roast is optional but adds flavor.
