Ingredients

• 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
• 2 large Sweet onions
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Dried rosemary
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels, and season all sides evenly with salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker.

Step 3

Thinly slice the sweet onions and smash the garlic cloves. Layer the onions on top of the roast in the slow cooker, then add the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the roast and onions in the slow cooker.

Step 5

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef becomes tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Step 6

Once the roast is done, carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Use a slotted spoon to remove the onions and garlic from the slow cooker and place them on top of the roast.

Step 7

To make a gravy, pour the remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and water into a smooth slurry, then whisk it into the liquid. Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 8

Serve the beef roast with the thickened gravy on the side, and enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
