Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • skillet (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon herb and garlic seasoning
  • ½ sweet yellow onion cut into quartered pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 8 oz baby carrots
  • 16 oz gold potatoes halved or quartered if large
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ½ cup red wine
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • ¼ cup tapioca pearls

Instructions
 

  • Place the roast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the seasoning across the top of the roast, then add in the onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes.
  • Add in the tomato paste and sprinkle tapioca pearls across the top.
  • Whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup water until smooth.
  • Whisk cornstarch slurry with the red wine and beef broth and pour into the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until fork tender.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat single servings in the microwave. If you use a larger roast, cut it down into 2-3 pieces for more even cooking. For even cooking, add larger carrots and potatoes. Red wine can be omitted or subbed for additional beef broth. Optional step: brown the roast beforehand for added flavor.
