Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb. beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp. cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. oregano
  • 4 oz. cream horseradish (Beaver Brand recommended)
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 white onion, sliced
  • 3 cups white mushrooms
  • Additional horseradish if desired

Instructions

  1. Brown the Roast: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil, swirling it to coat the bottom. Brown the beef chuck roast on all sides until a deep, caramelized crust forms, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step locks in flavor and juices. Transfer the browned roast to a slow cooker.
  2. Season and Add Horseradish: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and oregano evenly over the roast. Then spread the cream horseradish all over the seasoned roast to infuse it with a bold, tangy flavor.
  3. Add Vegetables and Liquids: Place the sliced white onion and white mushrooms around and on top of the roast. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth to add savory moisture and depth of flavor.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 9 to 10 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain heat and ensure the meat becomes tender and flavorful.
  5. Make Gravy (Optional): After cooking, you can make a rich gravy using the drippings. This can be done by mixing the drippings with flour to create a traditional gravy or by substituting the drippings for water in a packaged gravy mix.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the pot roast, serve with the mushrooms and onions, and add extra horseradish if desired for an extra kick. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal!

Notes

  • For best flavor, brown the roast thoroughly before slow cooking.
  • Do not open the slow cooker lid during cooking to preserve moisture and temperature.
  • Use cream horseradish for a smooth texture; adjust the amount based on your taste preference for heat.
  • Mushrooms and onions add layers of flavor and complement the horseradish well.
  • Leftover roast can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Gravy made from drippings enhances the dish but is optional.
