Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 medium carrots
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 medium celery stalks
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 0.25 cups heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Peel and roughly chop the yellow onion into wedges. Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Chop the celery stalks into 2-inch pieces.

Step 4

In the base of a slow cooker, layer the onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Place the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables. Add the sprigs of rosemary and thyme on top.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

Step 7

Once done, remove the beef and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 8

Strain the cooking liquid into a medium saucepan, discarding the rosemary and thyme. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.

Step 10

Stir in the prepared horseradish and heavy cream to create a smooth gravy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the beef roast and vegetables warm, drizzled with the horseradish gravy, and enjoy!
