Description

A tender beef roast slow-cooked with caramelized onions and aromatic herbs for a rich and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 lbs beef roast (chuck or brisket)
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
  2. Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
  3. Add onions to the same skillet and cook until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour the onion mixture over the beef. Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 180-240 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Slice and serve with the onion gravy.

Notes

For added richness, consider using beef broth instead of water. Use a thermometer to check beef doneness; aim for 190°F for tenderness.
