Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved 2 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces 1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 1 beef roast (3 pounds), preferably chuck, trimmed of excess fat 4 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste

Directions

In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons broth until smooth. Add remaining broth, tomato paste, potatoes, carrots, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper and toss.

Season roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and rub with garlic. Place on top of vegetables. Cover and cook on high until roast is fork-tender, 5 hours (or 8 hours on low).

Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; skim fat from pan juices, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Serve roast and vegetables drizzled with juices.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       08/25/2017   It's hard to do a slow-cooker roast wrong, but this recipe serves as a solid foundation for optimizing one. I like to tweak recipes according to my tastes. One thing that I do is forgo the tomato paste. I also add carrots and celery to enhance the taste and increase the variety of veggies. Sometimes, I will use a mix of Yukon gold potatoes and reds. I always use the baby potatoes - it's easy to skip the step of halving the potatoes by doing this, although the baby potatoes seem to be a tad more expensive. Additionally, I incorporate spices that I feel add flavor to the roast, including basil.
