Instructions:

Preparing the Pot Roast:

1. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chuck roast on all sides until it’s nicely browned. This step enhances the flavor and seals in the juices.
3. Transfer the seared roast to your slow cooker.
4. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until they’re softened and fragrant.
5. Pour 2 cups of beef broth into the skillet and bring it to a simmer while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
6. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir to combine.
7. Pour this broth and herb mixture over the seared roast in the slow cooker.
8. Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 7-8 hours or until the pot roast is fork-tender.

Preparing the Stroganoff Sauce: 9. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream and all-purpose flour until smooth.

10. About 30 minutes before serving, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until they’re golden and tender.
11. Stir in 1/2 cup of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
12. Slowly add the sour cream and flour mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly to create a creamy sauce. Allow it to thicken, but do not boil.
13. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bringing It All Together: 14. Remove the bay leaves from the slow cooker.

15. Shred the pot roast using two forks.
16. Pour the prepared stroganoff sauce over the shredded beef in the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
17. Cover and let it heat through for another 15-20 minutes.

Serve and Garnish: 18. Serve your Slow Cooker Pot Roast Beef Stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice.

19. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
