Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast chunks with salt and pepper, and brown them in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  2. Once browned, transfer the beef chunks to the slow cooker, spreading them evenly.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary, then adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the broth mixture evenly over the beef in the slow cooker, then add the chopped potatoes and baby carrots. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
  8. About 10-15 minutes before serving, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve the beef and vegetables directly over the toasted bread, garnishing each serving with fresh parsley.
