材料

3–4 lbs (1.4–1.8 kg) beef chuck roast

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 large onion, diced

6 cloves garlic, minced

1½ cups beef broth

⅓ cup balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp cornstarch + 3 tbsp cold water (optional, for thickening)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

手順

Pat the beef roast dry and season generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and rosemary.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned.

Place the diced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the seared roast on top.

In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, tomato paste, and melted butter.

Pour the sauce over the roast.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.

Remove the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For a thicker gravy, whisk the cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the cooking liquid. Cook on HIGH for 10–15 minutes until thickened.

Spoon the rich garlic balsamic gravy over the sliced beef and garnish with fresh parsley.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, buttered noodles, or crusty bread.
