  2. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides and place it on top of the vegetables.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs (if using). Pour this mixture over the roast.
Cooking

Notes

You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or reheat on the stove, adding a little beef broth to keep it moist. For extra flavor, brown the roast before cooking and add a splash of red wine.
