4 cups beef stock
Oil for searing
For the Gravy:
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp butter
2 cups strained slow cooker liquid
Instructions:
1. Sear the Chuck Roast:
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

2. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:
Layer the potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker. Lightly season.
Place the seared chuck roast on top of the vegetables.
Sprinkle onion powder over the roast, or add sliced onions and minced garlic for extra flavor.
Spread the prepared horseradish generously over the beef.
3. Add the Beef Stock:
Carefully pour the beef stock around the roast without disturbing the horseradish topping.

Cover and cook on low for 8–10 hours or high for 4–6 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
5. Make the Homemade Gravy:
Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of the strained slow cooker liquid.
