Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 8 ounces button mushrooms
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and transfer to the crockpot.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Clean and slice the button mushrooms.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture.

Step 6

Transfer the onion, garlic, and mushroom mixture to the crockpot with the seared beef.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crockpot.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove 1 cup of the cooking liquid and transfer it to a small bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the reserved cooking liquid.

Step 10

Return the thickened gravy mixture to the crockpot and stir gently to combine. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 11

Serve the beef and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.
