@mediterranean_recipes: Ingredients * 1.5 kg (3 lb) beef chuck roast, cut into large cubes * 2 tbsp olive oil * 1 large onion, diced * 5 garlic cloves, minced * 1 cup beef broth * 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce * 2 tbsp soy sauce * 1 tbsp tomato paste * 1 tsp smoked paprika * 1 tsp onion powder * 1 tsp garlic powder * 1 tsp dried thyme * 1 tsp black pepper * 1 tsp salt (or to taste) * 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional) * 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional, for thickening) Instructions 1. Season the beef cubes with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side). Transfer to the slow cooker. 3. In the same skillet, sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. 4. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and beef broth. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan. 5. Pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the thyme and chili flakes if using. 6. Cook on Low for 7–8 hours or High for 4–5 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender. 7. If you’d like a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with water and stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20–30 minutes of cooking. Serving Suggestions Serve with: * Creamy mashed potatoes * Buttered rice * Egg noodles * Roasted vegetables * Crusty bread to soak up the gravy
