Prep Time
This slow-cooker recipe for boneless chuck eye roast is incredibly easy to prepare. All you need to do is season the roast with salt, pepper, and herbs and vegetables of your choosing.

Cook Time
This boneless chuck eye roast recipe takes about 8 hours to cook in a slow cooker. If you’re short on time, you can cook it on high for about 4 hours, but the low and slow method will produce the most tender, juicy result. It’s best to check the internal temperature of the roast to make sure it’s cooked to the desired doneness before serving.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need a 3-4 lb boneless chuck eye roast, 2-3 cups of liquid (such as beef broth or red wine), 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, and any herbs and vegetables you’d like to add for flavor. Carrots, celery, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs like thyme, oregano, and rosemary are all great options.
Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the boneless chuck eye roast with salt and pepper, then place it in the hot skillet and sear it on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. When it’s nicely browned, transfer it to the slow cooker.
Add the herbs and vegetables to the slow cooker, then pour in your choice of liquid. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Let the roast slow cook for 8 hours, or until it’s cooked to your desired doneness. Serve with your favorite sides and a nice bottle of red wine.
