How to Make Beef Jerk Roast

1. Marinate the Beef

In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine jerk marinade and sofrito. Add the chuck roast and coat completely. Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors soak in.

2. Build the Crockpot

Place the marinated roast in the bottom of your slow cooker. Scatter the carrots and potatoes around the roast.

3. Add Broth

Pour beef bone broth over everything to keep the roast moist and flavorful while it cooks.

4. Slow Cook to Perfection

Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours until the roast is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

5. Serve

Spoon the roast and veggies into bowls with some of that spicy jerk broth. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or with warm bread to soak it all up.
