Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds of chuck roast
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth (preferably homemade for richer flavor)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups homemade egg noodles (or store-bought if preferred)
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat and sear the chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker. Sauté chopped onions and garlic in the same skillet for about 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
Pour the sautéed mixture over the roast in the slow cooker, then add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Remove the beef from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot.
Add the egg noodles to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes.
If desired, stir in the frozen peas during the last few minutes of cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
