Ingredients

1 medium onion cut into wedges
1 pound carrots cut into large, 2 inch chunks
1.5 pounds baby potatoes left whole
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon pepper
3-4 pound chuck roast
1 tablespoon cornstarch optional

Instructions

In a 6 quart slow cooker, add onion, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and beef broth.
In a bowl, combine dijon mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Brush mustard paste on all sides of beef roast and place in slow cooker on top of vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for about 8-10 hours (or high for 5-6 hours), or until beef roast is tender. Time depend on the size and shape of the roast you're using.
Optionally, whisk together cornstarch and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Remove roast from slow cooker and add the cornstarch mixture to the beef broth, stirring to thicken into a gravy.

Notes

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
If you'd prefer to add small diced potatoes and carrots, add them during the last 2-3 hours of cooking (to prevent mushy vegetables).
The size and shape of your roast and make and model of slow cooker (older models cook slower) can affect the cooking time of your roast. Using a larger roast, a bone-in roast, or an old slow cooker will increase cooking time.
