Tender Slow Cooker Roast Beef
Ingredients
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
  • 1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed
Instructions
1
Season the beef roast with a blend of savory flavors, incorporating garlic salt and black pepper to enhance its natural taste. Position the roast at the bottom of a slow cooker, allowing it to sit comfortably in its new environment.
2
In a small container, combine three essential liquids - Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and red wine vinegar - to create a rich and complex base. Pour this mixture over the beef roast, ensuring it's fully coated with the aromatic flavors.
3
Sprinkle a packet of onion soup mix over the roast, adding an extra layer of depth to its flavor profile. Next, pour a moderate amount of water into the slow cooker around the roast, leaving some space between the liquid and the top to prevent overflow.
4
Close the lid on the slow cooker and initiate the cooking process, setting it to Low for an extended period of 4 to 6 hours. The roast will be done when it reaches the desired level of doneness, indicated by a lack of pinkness in its center and tenderness when pierced with a fork.
5
Once the roast is cooked, carefully transfer the rich sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Warm the sauce over medium heat, causing it to bubble and foam. Then, mix in a small amount of cornstarch to thicken the sauce, achieving a smooth and velvety texture.
