Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 3 medium Yellow onions
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Dried rosemary
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In the bottom of the Crock Pot, spread half of the sliced onions evenly.

Step 5

Place the seared beef chuck roast on top of the onions.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.

Step 7

Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and onions in the Crock Pot.

Step 8

Add the remaining onions on top of the beef for extra flavor and moisture.

Step 9

Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.

Step 10

Once the beef is cooked, carefully transfer it to a plate and shred it with two forks.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this into the Crock Pot and stir it into the sauce.

Step 12

Turn the Crock Pot to HIGH and let the sauce thicken for 15-20 minutes.

Step 13

Return the shredded beef into the thickened sauce and stir to combine.

Step 14

Serve the slow-cooked beef in onion sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and enjoy!
