Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the ingredients

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes, discarding any large pieces of fat. Slice the cremini mushrooms. Dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the thyme leaves from the stems.

2
Brown the beef

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the browned beef to a slow cooker.

3
Sauté the vegetables

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.

4
Deglaze the pan

Pour the red wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.

5
Transfer to the slow cooker

Transfer the mushroom mixture to the slow cooker with the beef. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

6
Cook the beef

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

7
Thicken the gravy

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker and mix well. Cover and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened.

8
Finish the dish

Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the beef with mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
