Ingredients
• 3 lbs chuck roast
• 1.5 lbs baby yellow potatoes, halved
• 4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch chunks
• 1 large yellow onion, cut into thick wedges
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (for gravy)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
First, season your chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Next, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned, then move it to your slow cooker. Arrange the halved potatoes, carrots, onion wedges, and garlic around the roast. In a measuring cup, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dry onion soup mix, then pour this liquid over the roast and vegetables, adding thyme sprigs. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours until the beef is incredibly tender. Finally, transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter and gently shred the meat. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan, bring it to a boil, whisk in the cornstarch slurry, and simmer for 3 minutes to create a thick gravy to pour over everything.
