Preparation

Step 1

Season the chuck with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat, and add canola oil. When it is hot, add in the roast and brown deeply for 4-5 minutes on each side.
In your crockpot, add the carrots, potatoes, and garlic. Lay the beef on top, then add the beef broth and cover. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 5-6 hours. In the last hour, mix your cornstarch and water together and add it to the crockpot to thicken the sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.
