Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds beef chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat.
Place the sliced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Put the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and place them on a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Pour the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cooking liquid. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the beef roast sliced or shredded with the cooked vegetables and topped with the thickened gravy.
