Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Beef chuck roast
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Cold water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, then sear it in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from heat.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions, and mince the garlic cloves.
In the bottom of the Crock Pot, spread half of the sliced onions evenly.
Place the seared beef chuck roast on top of the onions.
In a small bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Mix well.
Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and onions in the Crock Pot.
Add the remaining onions on top of the beef for extra flavor and moisture.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork.
Once the beef is cooked, carefully transfer it to a plate and shred it with two forks.
In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this into the Crock Pot and stir it into the sauce.
Turn the Crock Pot to HIGH and let the sauce thicken for 15-20 minutes.
Return the shredded beef into the thickened sauce and stir to combine.
Serve the slow-cooked beef in onion sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles, and enjoy!
