Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 medium carrots
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 1.5 cups red wine
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all sides with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.

Step 3

Peel and slice the onion into wedges. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and cut the carrots into large chunks. Slice the cremini mushrooms.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot.

Step 5

Add the carrots, mushrooms, red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and the bay leaf to the crock pot. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the cooking time is finished, remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter. Discard the bay leaf.

Step 8

To make a gravy, pour the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Heat the cooking liquid over medium heat and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens into a gravy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Slice or shred the roast and serve with the vegetables and the gravy drizzled on top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness.
