Ingredients
- Bottom round roast
- 3-4 pounds
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, to taste
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, to taste
- Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons
- Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons
- Beef broth
- 2 cups
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 large, sliced
- Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/4 cup
Instructions
- Season the bottom round roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the roast until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. This step enhances the flavor and creates a beautiful crust.
- Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic around the roast.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Pour the broth mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker, ensuring everything is well coated.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
- Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker and set aside on a cutting board.
- Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
- In a separate small bowl, mix together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the boiling liquid.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Slice the bottom round roast against the grain and serve with the thickened sauce drizzled over the top.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the roast overnight with the seasoning mix before cooking.
- Serve this roast with mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Feel free to add vegetables such as carrots and potatoes to the slow cooker for a complete meal.
