Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Pot Roast Ingredients 1. Beef chuck roast – 4 lb 2. Olive oil – 2 tbsp 3. Unsalted butter – 4 tbsp 4. Yellow onions – 2 large, sliced 5. Garlic – 8 cloves, minced 6. Beef broth – 2 cups 7. Worcestershire sauce – 2 tbsp 8. Soy sauce – 1 tbsp 9. Brown sugar – 1 tbsp 10. Smoked paprika – 2 tsp 11. Garlic powder – 1 tsp 12. Onion powder – 1 tsp 13. Dried thyme – 1 tsp 14. Dried rosemary – 1 tsp 15. Kosher salt – 1 1/2 tsp 16. Black pepper – 1 tsp 17. Cornstarch – 2 tbsp 18. Cold water – 3 tbsp 19. Fresh parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped Recipe 1. Pat the beef chuck roast completely dry with paper towels. Trim away only excessive surface fat, leaving enough fat on the roast to keep it moist and flavorful during slow cooking. 2. Combine the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture thoroughly over every side of the roast. 3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust develops, then transfer it to a slow cooker. 4. Add the sliced onions to the same skillet and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add half of the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. 5. Melt the butter into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet into the sauce. 6. Pour the hot onion and garlic sauce over the seared roast in the slow cooker, arranging the softened onions around the beef so they cook directly in the flavorful liquid. 7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours, or until the roast is extremely tender and a fork slides easily through the meat. 8. During the final hour, spoon some of the cooking liquid over the roast. Keep the slow cooker covered between spooning so the heat and moisture remain trapped. 9. Carefully transfer the cooked roast to a serving board and let it rest for 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute while the tender meat settles. 10. Pour the cooking liquid and onions into a saucepan. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes to concentrate the flavors. 11. Whisk the cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until completely smooth. Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the gravy becomes glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon. 12. Slice the rested roast against the grain into thick portions, or gently pull it apart into large tender pieces. Arrange the beef on a serving platter and spoon the caramelized onions and thickened gravy generously over the top. 13. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, rice, or crusty bread to absorb the rich garlic gravy.
