Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 to 3 lbs roast
  • 1.5 lbs any potatoes of your choice (cut into chunks (I used small baby yellow potatoes so there was not cutting))
  • 4 carrots peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 onion cut into chunks
  • 4 cups beef stock or broth (one carton)
  • 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup water (for the gravy)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instruction

  • First cut all your vegetables into large chunks. You want them to be bigger so they will not turn into mush.
  • Add your roast to the crock pot and then place the vegetables around the roast.
  • Add all your seasonings.
  • Next add in the beef stock.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.
  • Shred the beef.
  • Now, time to make the gravy. In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup of water and the cornstarch.
  • Remove 2 cups of the liquid from the crock pot and place in a sauce pan.
  • Whisk in the water and cornstarch mixture in with the beef juice.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken as it cools as well.
  • Drizzle the gravy over the roast, potatoes, and carrots and enjoy!
