Ingredients
- 4.5 lb chuck roast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 lb carrots peeled, sliced into 2" chunks
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled, cubed 1"
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp water cold
- 6 sprigs parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- If your slow cooker has an option to sear, heat it up. Otherwise, heat up a large skillet or pot. Add the olive oil to the pot and heat to medium high. Add roast and let sear for 4 to 5 minutes each side.
- If you seared in your slow cooker, temporarily remove the roast and set aside. Add carrots, potatoes, and garlic to the bottom of the pan, then place the roast on top. Add beef broth, then sprinkle salt, pepper and thyme over the roast.
- Set the slow cooker to low for 8 hours (recommended), or high for 5 to 6 hours, then start.
- In the last hour of cooking, mix together the cornstarch and cold water, then add to the broth. Carefully mix in.
- After cooking has completed, serve! Garnish with fresh parsley.
