Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Flour
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
Instructions
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on each side until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Peel and finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic cloves. In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes.
Add the flour to the skillet and stir to coat the onion and garlic. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Add the paprika, thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well, then pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the bay leaf, then shred the beef into the sauce with two forks for a ‘pulled beef’ texture.
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
