Description

This easy, moist slow cooker roast beef without vegetables simmers in a full-flavored gravy made with onion soup mix, Worcestershire, and soy sauce.

Ingredients

1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed

Directions

1 Rub beef roast with garlic salt and black pepper. Place roast in the bottom of a slow cooker.
2 Mix together Worcestershire, soy sauce, and red wine vinegar in a small bowl; pour over roast. Sprinkle onion soup mix over roast. Pour water into the slow cooker around roast, not over the top.
3 Cover and cook on Low until no longer pink in the center and meat is fork tender, 4 to 6 hours.
4 Transfer sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Warm over medium heat until bubbling, then mix in cornstarch to thicken.
