Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Beef Chuck Roast

  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

  • Slurry: 2 tbsp Cornstarch + 2 tbsp Water optional

  1. Sear: Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear meat for 3–4 minutes on each side until brown. Transfer to the crock pot.
  2. Layer: Add the potatoes, carrots, and chopped onions around the beef.
  3. Pour: Whisk dry onion soup mix into the beef broth and pour into the slow cooker.
