Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
• 1 large Onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Flour
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on each side until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the flour to the skillet and stir to coat the onion and garlic. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the paprika, thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well, then pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf, then shred the beef into the sauce with two forks for a ‘pulled beef’ texture.

Step 9

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
