How to Make Apple And Onion Beef Pot Roast
- Season a 3-4 lb beef pot roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, and transfer to a slow cooker.
- Add 1 cup of beef broth to the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Pour the liquid over the roast in the slow cooker.
- Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt to the slow cooker.
- Top the roast with 1 large onion, thinly sliced, and 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Remove the roast and onion from the slow cooker. Discard the apples. Let the roast rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- To make the gravy, pour the juices from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 2 cups.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup beef broth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering pan juices. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
- Slice the roast and serve it with the delicious gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
