Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 large skillet optional
  • 1 tongs or spatula
  • 1 serving spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet onion soup mix 1 oz or 28g
  • 1 cup beef broth 240ml
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce optional
  • to taste garnish fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Begin by seasoning the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides. If you prefer, you can sear the roast in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
  • Place the seasoned roast in the slow cooker. If you used a skillet, transfer the roast directly after searing.
  • In a bowl, combine the onion soup mix, beef broth, minced garlic, and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Pour this mixture over the roast.
  • Scatter the sliced onion on top of the beef in the slow cooker.
  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 8 hours. If you're short on time, you can set it to high heat for about 4 hours instead.
  • Once the cooking time is done, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it to serve.
  • Use a serving spoon to scoop out the gravy and onions to drizzle over the sliced steak.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving for a touch of color.
