Ingredients:
- 3 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 lb large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch rounds
- 1 lb baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
- 1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups low-sodium beef bone broth
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
Instructions:
- Place the coarsely chopped yellow onions at the bottom of the slow cooker to create a base.
- Add the beef chunks, carrots, and halved baby potatoes on top of the onions.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the beef bone broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and smoked paprika. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables.
- Nestle the smashed garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and thyme sprigs into the liquid.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-6 hours) until the beef is fork-tender.
- Whisk the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
