Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to create a spice mixture.
- Rub the spice mixture generously all over the chuck tender roast, ensuring it's well-coated for maximum flavor.
- Place the seasoned roast in the slow cooker and pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, allowing the liquid to surround the meat.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth.
- Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Serve the sliced roast with the rich gravy drizzled over it, making sure to savor every bite.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding sliced onions and carrots to the slow cooker with the roast.
- Pair this dish with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- You can also use balsamic vinegar instead of Worcestershire sauce for a tangy twist.
