Ingredients

- 2 pounds of beef chuck roast - 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil - 1 onion, chopped - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 2 cups of beef broth - 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon of dried thyme - 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary - 1 teaspoon of salt - 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch - 2 tablespoons of cold water

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Start by trimming any excess fat from the beef chuck roast. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, around 2 inches in size. Season the beef with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef to the pot and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.

Step 3: Saute the Onion and Garlic

Add the chopped onion to the pot and saute for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and saute for another 30 seconds.

Step 4: Make the Gravy

Add 2 cups of beef broth, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5: Simmer the Beef

Add the browned beef back to the pot and stir to combine. Bring the mixture back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.

Step 6: Thicken the Gravy

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the pot, stirring constantly. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the gravy has thickened.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the gravy beef hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
