Ingredients
Scale
Beef Pot Roast:
- 1 2-3 lb beef roast
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Remove the roast from the packaging and pat dry with paper towels.
- Layer Ingredients: Cut onion into thick slices and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place roast on top of onions.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic salt, and thyme over the roast. Pour beef broth around the sides of the roast.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, spoon over drippings or gravy, then serve.
- Make Gravy: Skim off the fat from the drippings. Pour into a sauté pan and heat over medium-low heat. Reduce liquid by 1/3. Create a slurry by mixing flour with cold water. Whisk the slurry into the drippings and simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
