Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Red wine (dry, such as Cabernet Sauvignon)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In the crock pot, combine the beef broth, red wine, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and bay leaf. Stir to mix well.

Step 5

Place the seared chuck roast into the crock pot. Add the cooked onions, mushrooms, and garlic on top.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the beef and tent loosely with foil to rest. Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the crock pot.

Step 8

To make the gravy, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the remaining liquid in the crock pot. Turn the crock pot to high and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.

Step 9

Slice or shred the beef and serve with the mushroom and red wine gravy on top. Enjoy!
