Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pound beef chuck roast, defrosted
  • 3 tablespoons dried minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup dried sliced onions
  • 1/2 cup favorite bottled barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth (may need a bit more to make gravy)
  • 3 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 8 small), peeled
  • 2 pounds yellow onion (about 4 medium), peeled and quartered
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Pinch of salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Add beef chuck roast to a large slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle with dried minced garlic and dried sliced onions.
  3. Pour barbecue sauce over top of roast.
  4. Pour 1 cup beef broth, Worchestershire sauce and red wine around roast in slow cooker.

To Make Gravy:

  1. Using large spoon, remove vegetables and beef roast from slow cooker to a serving platter and arrange in a pleasing manner.
  2. If using a bone-in chuck roast, discard bones.
  3. Strain leftover slow cooker juices into a large glass measuring cup, using a fine mesh sieve; need 2 cups to make gravy.
  4. If not enough pan juices in measuring cup, add more beef broth to equal 2 cups.
  5. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat.
  6. Add flour and stir to combine to make a paste; continue cooking for a few minutes to get rid of flour taste.
  7. Add measured pan juices/beef broth mixture to flour paste, all at once, and stir constantly until mixture thickens to a gravy consistency and coats the back of a spoon.
  8. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  9. Transfer to a gravy boat or bowl and serve with beef roast.
