Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Place the sliced onion, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, creating a bed for the roast.

Step 4

Set the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast and vegetables.

Step 6

Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the roast is tender and easily falls apart.

Step 7

Once the roast is cooked, remove it and the vegetables from the crock pot. Keep warm by tenting with foil.

Step 8

Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and remove excess fat if necessary.

Step 9

In a separate small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and butter together to form a paste (this is called a beurre manié).

Step 10

Bring the cooking liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the beurre manié, a little at a time, until the gravy thickens. If needed, thin it out with water.

Step 11

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 12

Serve the roast beef sliced with the vegetables alongside, topped generously with the gravy. Enjoy!
