Ingredients
3 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Step 1: Sear the Beef
Season the beef chunks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned and caramelized.
Step 2: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Add chopped onion and minced garlic.
Step 3: Make the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, and thyme. Pour the mixture over the beef.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours until the beef becomes fork-tender and easy to shred.
Step 5: Thicken the Gravy
Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20 minutes of cooking until the sauce thickens.
Step 6: Serve
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, rice, or toasted bread. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
Chuck roast works best because it becomes incredibly tender after slow cooking.
For extra richness, add a splash of red wine to the sauce.
Leftovers taste even better the next day.
