Ingredients

6 small white potatoes, peeled

12 carrots, chopped

1 cup chopped onion

1 tbsp canola oil

1 (3 lb) boneless beef chuck roast

1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce

0.25 cup packed brown sugar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp cider vinegar

1 tsp salt

Directions

Preheat the slow cooker.

In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef roast until evenly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side; then transfer it onto the bed of chopped veggies in the slow cooker.

Mix together tomato sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Pour this sweet-and-sour mixture over the roast.

Set the slow cooker to Low for 10 to 12 hours (or High for 5 to 6 hours) until the beef becomes tender and the veggies are fully cooked.

Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker, leaving behind the sauce. In a separate skillet, reduce the sauce on medium-high heat until it thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the beef and veggies before serving.
