Instructionskeyboard_arrow_up

Sear the Roast:
1 In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2 Season both sides of the chuck roast with 1/2 of the salt and pepper.
3 Sear the roast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat and transfer to the slow cooker or Dutch oven.
Prepare the Ingredients:
5 Add the sliced onions, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, beef stock, and the remaining salt and pepper to the slow cooker or Dutch oven.
Cook the Roast:
7 Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
8 Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Cover the Dutch oven and cook for 3-5 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
Make the Gravy:
10 Remove the roast from the slow cooker or Dutch oven.
11 In the slow cooker or Dutch oven, increase the heat to high (slow cooker) or medium (stovetop).
12 In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, then stir into the cooking liquid.
13 Stir the gravy until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
Serve:
15 Shred or slice the roast and serve with the thickened gravy.
16 Enjoy!
