Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chuck roast
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 3 carrots cut up
  • 2 celery stalks cut up
  • 8 ounces mushrooms cut up
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups red wine
  • 8 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 4 tablespoons water
  • fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  1. Season chuck roast all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet and brown all sides of the chuck roast well. Remove roast to a plate and add onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms and garlic. Saute on medium heat until fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Add tomato paste and mix in; cook for a few minutes. Add red wine, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and reduce wine by three quarters. Add stock, thyme and bay leaf and bring to a boil. 
  3. Transfer sauce and vegetables to slow cooker; place roast on top, pressing down to submerge in liquid as much as possible. Cook on high for 4-5 hours until fork tender. 

  4. To make gravy, remove 4 cups of sauce to saucepan; bring to a boil; stir in cornstarch/water mixture and cook until thickened, just a few minutes. Slice pot roast and serve with vegetables and gravy.
