Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups baby carrots

For Browning and Sautéing

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

For Slow Cooking Broth

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

  • 4 slices of bread for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper. Brown the beef in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until a deep golden crust forms. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the beef.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add thyme, rosemary, and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.
  4. Add Vegetables: Add the potato chunks and baby carrots to the slow cooker. Gently stir to evenly distribute the vegetables with the beef and broth.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Prepare Bread: When the beef and vegetables are done, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
  7. Serve: Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture over the toasted bread. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting Slow Cooker Beef Manhattan.

Notes

  • For a thicker gravy, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Substitute beef chuck roast with chicken thighs for a lighter version; adjust cooking time to 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high.
  • Ensure the bread is sturdy to hold the beef and vegetable mixture without becoming soggy too quickly.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your preference, especially if using low-sodium beef broth.
