Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 bay leaves

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Sear the roast in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, then transfer it to the crock pot.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion, then add it to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the crock pot, spreading it around the beef.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and paprika. Pour this mixture over the beef in the crock pot.

Step 6

Place the bay leaves on top and cover the crock pot with the lid.

Step 7

Cook the beef on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreddable.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaves. Using two forks, shred the beef directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the juices and onions to incorporate the flavors.

Step 9

Serve hot over rice, in tacos, or on sandwich buns. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
