It’s perfect for Sundays, chilly evenings, or busy days when you want dinner waiting for you with almost no fuss. Serve it with mashed potatoes, noodles, or warm bread, and it feels like pure comfort.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef chuck roast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large onions, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season it all over with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear it on all sides until browned. This step adds deep, rich flavor.

Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the seared roast on top.

In a small bowl, stir together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste. Pour the mixture over the roast.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is tender.

Remove the roast from the slow cooker. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the juices and let it cook for about 10 minutes, until the gravy thickens.

Slice or shred the beef, then spoon the onion gravy over the top.

Presentation

Serve the roast on a large platter with plenty of onion gravy poured over it. A sprinkle of fresh thyme or parsley adds a pretty finish.

For a cozy dinner plate, pair it with creamy mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, or buttered egg noodles.
