📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat.

3. Peel and roughly chop the yellow onion into wedges. Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces. Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Chop the celery stalks into 2-inch pieces.

4. In the base of a slow cooker, layer the onions, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Place the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables.

5. Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables. Add the sprigs of rosemary and thyme on top.

6. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

7. Once done, remove the beef and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.

8. Strain the cooking liquid into a medium saucepan, discarding the rosemary and thyme. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.

9. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the simmering liquid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened.

10. Stir in the prepared horseradish and heavy cream to create a smooth gravy. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

11. Serve the beef roast and vegetables warm, drizzled with the horseradish gravy, and enjoy!
