Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons avocado or canola oil, separated
  • 3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium or unsalted beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced button mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes

Instructions

  • Pat beef dry with a paper towel and cut into 1 ½-inch cubes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the slow cooker on Sauté mode (or in a large skillet if your slow cooker does not have a Sauté function). Working in batches, brown beef on all sides for 2–3 minutes per batch. Transfer beef to a plate and set aside.
  • Add onion to the pot (or skillet, if using) and cook until softened, 4–5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more. Sprinkle flour over onions and stir to coat.
  • Slowly whisk in the beef broth, one big splash at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add the Worcestershire, Dijon, thyme, bay leaf, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 5-6 minutes.
  • If using a skillet, transfer the gravy mixture to the slow cooker. Add beef and stir to coat. Cover and cook on LOW 7–8 hours or HIGH 4–5 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  • Stir in mushrooms during the last 60 minutes on LOW or last 30 minutes on HIGH.
  • Remove bay leaf, garnish with parsley (if using), and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
