Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Beef Manhattan
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned beef chuck roast. Brown the meat for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Transfer to your slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully pour the gravy mixture over the browned beef in the slow cooker. Add 4 to 6 chopped potatoes and 1 cup of baby carrots, stirring gently.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for about 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) about 10-15 minutes before serving. Arrange slices of bread on a baking sheet and toast for about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the beef is tender, ladle the beef and veggies onto the toasted bread. Drizzle some gravy over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes
Searing the beef enhances flavor; consider thickening the gravy with cornstarch if desired. Customize the vegetables as preferred.
