Ingredients
Boneless beef chuck roast
2-2.5 lbs (Trim any excess fat if necessary.)
Cooking oil
2 tablespoons (For browning the roast.)
Water
1/2 cup (To keep the roast moist while cooking.)
Dried dill
1 teaspoon (For seasoning the roast.)
Coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon (Or 3/4 teaspoon of regular salt, to taste.)
Pepper
1/2 teaspoon (To season the roast.)
Plain yogurt
1/2 cup (For the creamy sauce.)
All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (To thicken the sauce.)
Hot cooked noodles
3 cups (As a side for serving.)
Instructions
1
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the boneless beef chuck roast, if necessary, and cutting it to fit into a 3 1/2 to 4 quart crock pot.
2
Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the roast and brown all sides evenly, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
3
Transfer the browned roast to the crock pot. Pour the water around the sides of the roast to keep the meat moist during cooking.
4
Sprinkle the roast evenly with dried dill, kosher salt, and pepper, ensuring that seasonings cover the meat adequately.
5
Cover the crock pot and cook on the high heat setting for about 5 to 6 hours or on low heat for 10 to 12 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
6
Once cooked, carefully transfer the roast to a serving platter. Cover it with foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
7
Pour the cooking juices from the crock pot into a glass measuring cup and let it sit for a few moments until the fat rises to the top. Skim off the fat, then measure out 1 cup of the reserved juices.
8
In a small saucepan, combine the plain yogurt and flour, stirring until well blended. Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of cooking juices and remaining dill.
9
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble. Allow to cook for an additional minute to ensure the flour is well incorporated.
10
Serve the tender pot roast with the creamy dill sauce poured over the top, alongside the hot cooked noodles to complete your meal.
