Ingredients

• 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
• 4 medium Carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
• 3 stalks Celery stalks, cut into chunks
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary, dried
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Place the chopped onion, carrot chunks, potato quarters, and celery chunks in the bottom of a large crock pot.

Step 4

Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, dried thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low heat for 8-9 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once done, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 8

To make the gravy, strain the cooking liquid left in the crock pot into a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering liquid. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.

Step 10

Slice or shred the roast as desired, and serve with the cooked vegetables and gravy.
