Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Boneless beef chuck steaks
• 1 large, sliced Yellow onion

• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the steaks with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds depth of flavor.

Step 3

Layer the sliced onions on the bottom of the crock pot, creating a base for the steaks.

Step 4

Place the seared steaks on top of the onions, ensuring an even layer.

Step 5

Add the garlic, carrots, and baby potatoes on top of the steaks around the crock pot.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and a pinch of additional salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour the broth mixture over the contents of the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the steak is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.

Step 9

Once done, use a slotted spoon to remove the steaks and vegetables, and transfer to a serving dish.

Step 10

Optional: Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, simmer on medium heat, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry for a rich gravy to serve alongside the steak.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy!
