  • Total Time: 8 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds of beef chuck roast
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups of beef broth
  • 1 cup of dry white wine (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for searing
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 10 minutes, then stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
  3. In a slow cooker, place the seared roast, top with sautéed onions and garlic, and add beef broth, wine (if using), Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.
