  • Total 8 hr 20 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 1 lb medium red potatoes, cut into fourths
  • 1 cup ready-to-eat baby-cut carrots
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 lb), trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, place potatoes and carrots.
  • 2
    Mix mustard, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper; spread evenly over beef. Place beef on potatoes and carrots; sprinkle with onion. Pour broth evenly over beef and vegetables. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender.
  • 3
    Using slotted spoon, remove beef and vegetables from slow cooker; place on serving platter. Skim fat from beef juices if desired; serve juices with beef and vegetables.

  • To make gravy, skim fat from juices in the slow cooker. Measure 1 1/2 cups of the juices; pour into a small saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat. Shake 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water in a tightly covered jar. Stir cornstarch mixture into beef juices. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  • We recommend using red potatoes for this recipe because they tend to hold their shape better than russets.
