- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 (15-ounce) can beef broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
Roasted Root Vegetables:

Directions
For Pot Roast:
Season the beef with salt and pepper and lightly coat with flour. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat and brown the meat on all sides. Remove to a platter and set aside. Arrange the carrots, celery and onion in bottom of slow cooker and top with the seared beef. Add the broth, water, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme, and set the cooker on low for 8 hours. When finished, remove the meat to a serving platter. Let the vegetables and broth cool for about 5 minutes, then add to a blender. Slowly blend until smooth and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the gravy with the pot roast and roasted root vegetables.
For Roasted Root Vegetables:
One hour before the pot roast is done cooking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Add all the vegetables to a large bowl and add the canola oil, rosemary, thyme, and onion. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and arrange on a sheet tray. Roast for 30 minutes, then toss and roast another 30 minutes. Arrange on a serving platter and serve.
Use the leftovers to make Roasted Root Vegetable Pasta Salad or Southwestern Beef and Black Bean Chili.

This is my go-to recipe for pot roast, and I have tried several of them. I just make sure I liberally season everything, and add garlic to the roast veg, with olive oil.

Pretty easy to do. However meat and veggies were a little bland. Had to fix up the gravy to add flavor too. But turned out good and everyone loved it. Plan to season!!!!
