Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- optional: salt and black pepper
Instructions
Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper if desired.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.
Add sliced onions and mushrooms on top of the roast in the crock pot.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth and dry onion soup mix until combined, then pour the mixture over the roast in the crock pot.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours) until the roast is tender and falls apart easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast from the crock pot and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Turn the crock pot to its high setting. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the liquid in the crock pot to thicken the gravy. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the roast with the onion mushroom gravy poured on top or on the side.
