Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 3 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season all over with 1 teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until a deep golden crust forms. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
In the slow cooker, layer the carrots and baby potatoes at the bottom. Place the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables.
Spread the mustard spice mixture evenly over the top of the beef roast.
Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker, making sure not to wash away the mustard mixture.
Add the sautéed onions on top of the beef roast.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours (or high for 4-5 hours) until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the beef and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
To make the gravy, strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid, cooking until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the beef roast with the vegetables, and drizzle the gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
