Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Beef Manhattan
  1. Begin by generously seasoning your beef chuck roast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to coat the entire surface evenly.
  2. Layer the sliced onions at the bottom of your slow cooker, then place the seasoned beef roast directly on top.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the beef.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  5. If desired, carefully remove the beef after cooking. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then stir it into the gravy and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  6. Shred the beef and return it to the gravy. Serve hot over prepared mashed potatoes.
