Creamy Garlic Herb Slow Cooker Beef Roast Ingredients 1. Beef chuck roast – 4 lb 2. Yellow onion – 1 large, sliced 3. Garlic – 7 cloves, minced 4. Olive oil – 2 tbsp 5. Unsalted butter – 3 tbsp 6. Beef broth – 1 1/2 cups 7. Heavy cream – 1 cup 8. Cream cheese – 4 oz, softened 9. Parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup, finely grated 10. Worcestershire sauce – 1 tbsp 11. Dijon mustard – 1 tbsp 12. Dried Italian seasoning – 2 tsp 13. Dried thyme – 1 tsp 14. Garlic powder – 1 tsp 15. Black pepper – 1 tsp 16. Kosher salt – 1 1/2 tsp 17. Red pepper flakes – 1/4 tsp 18. Fresh parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped Recipe 1. Pat the beef roast completely dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and dried thyme. 2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned roast and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a dark golden-brown crust forms. 3. Transfer the browned roast to a slow cooker. Scatter the sliced onion and half of the minced garlic around the beef. 4. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn. 5. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir thoroughly while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. 6. Pour the seasoned broth over the roast and onions. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours until the beef is tender enough to pull apart easily. 7. About 30 minutes before serving, carefully remove the roast and keep it covered on a plate. Leave the hot cooking juices and onions inside the slow cooker. 8. Whisk the softened cream cheese and heavy cream together in a bowl until smooth. Slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese to create a thick creamy mixture. 9. Add the cream mixture to the hot cooking juices in the slow cooker and stir thoroughly until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and well blended with the beef drippings. 10. Return the roast to the slow cooker and spoon the creamy garlic herb sauce generously over the top. Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and the beef to absorb the flavors. 11. Carefully turn the roast once or twice while coating it with the sauce, keeping the meat intact and tender rather than shredding it completely. 12. Spoon additional creamy sauce over the roast and allow it to pool around the meat. Check the seasoning and add a small amount of salt or black pepper if needed. 13. Sprinkle the finished roast generously with fresh chopped parsley for a bright herb garnish. 14. Serve the tender beef in large portions with the creamy garlic sauce spooned over each serving, alongside mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or warm dinner rolls.
