Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 4 medium carrots, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the beef roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Layer the sliced onions, chopped carrots, and celery in the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange the baby potatoes on top.

Step 4

Place the seared beef roast on top of the vegetable layer.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the beef and vegetables from the slow cooker to a serving platter. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Step 8

Pour the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk this slurry into the simmering cooking liquid to thicken into a gravy. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve the beef roast and vegetables with the gravy drizzled on top or on the side. Enjoy!
