Cooking Steps

Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Slice the large onion thinly and layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Place the seasoned beef roast on top.
Combine beef broth, brown gravy mix, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour it over the roast.
Cover and cook on low heat for about 8 hours until fork-tender.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk together cornstarch and cold water and stir it into the hot gravy for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Shred the beef with two forks, mix it with the gravy, and serve over prepared mashed potatoes.
