Ingredients:
3 pounds beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large onions, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons Wan Ja Shan Organic Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
- Sear the Roast
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chuck roast on all sides until deeply browned about 4 minutes per side. This step adds incredible flavor. - Caramelize the Onions
In the same pan, add the thinly sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring often, until the onions turn golden and caramelized. - Add Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant. - Layer in the Slow Cooker
Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker, and top it with the caramelized onions and garlic. - Make the Flavor Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour over the roast and onions. - Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook:
On LOW for 8–10 hours, or
On HIGH for 4–5 hours,
until the beef is fall-apart tender.
- Thicken the Gravy
Remove the beef and set aside. Mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker juices and cook on high for 5–10 minutes until the gravy thickens. - Serve and Enjoy
Return the beef to the slow cooker, spoon the thickened onion gravy over the top, and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
