Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.2 kg (2.5 lb) beef chuck roast
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 kg (2 lb) potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup sweet corn, warmed
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season beef generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides until deeply browned.
  3. Place sliced onion and garlic in the slow cooker. Add beef on top.
  4. In a bowl, mix beef broth, Worcestershire, soy sauce, and tomato paste. Pour over beef.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours) until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Remove beef and shred using two forks. Return to the slow cooker and stir into the rich gravy.
  7. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter and warm milk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spoon mashed potatoes into bowls. Top generously with shredded beef and plenty of gravy. Add sweet corn and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Searing beef first adds deep flavor.
  • Cook low and slow for maximum tenderness.
  • Add a splash of red wine to the broth for extra richness.
