Instructions

Pat the beef chuck roast dry and season all sides evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker.
Arrange sliced onion, minced garlic, carrot pieces, and celery around the roast in the slow cooker.
Whisk together gluten-free beef broth, tomato paste, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
About 40 minutes before serving, place peeled and chunked potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well.
Return drained potatoes to the pot. Add unsalted butter and whole milk. Mash until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.
Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let rest for 5 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Shred or slice the meat as preferred. Serve the pot roast and vegetables on a bed of mashed potatoes. Drizzle with pan juices and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, select a well-marbled chuck roast. Searing the meat enhances its flavor.
