Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs chuck roast
- 2 large onions
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear the Roast: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Sear the roast on all sides until it’s nicely browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Caramelize the Onions: In the same skillet, add your sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they turn a deep golden color (about 15-20 minutes).
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Toss in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary into the onions. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the roast to your slow cooker. Add the caramelized onion mixture on top, pour in the beef broth, and drizzle the balsamic vinegar over everything.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the roast is fork-tender.
- Shred and Serve: Shred the roast directly in the slow cooker and stir to combine with the juices, creating a delicious gravy.
- Garnish: Serve hot and enjoy the aroma that fills your home.
Notes
Feel free to add root vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker for a complete meal.
