Step 1

First cut all your vegetables into large chunks. You want them to be bigger so they will not turn into mush.

Step 2

Add your roast to the crock pot and then place the vegetables around the roast.

Step 3

Add all your seasonings.

Step 4

Next add in the beef stock.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 5 hours.

Step 6

Shred the beef.

Step 7

Now, time to make the gravy. In a small bowl whisk together the 1/4 cup of water and the cornstarch.

Step 8

Remove 2 cups of the liquid from the crock pot and place in a sauce pan.

Step 9

Whisk in the water and cornstarch mixture in with the beef juice.

Step 10

Bring to a boil, stirring frequently for 3-5 minutes until it begins to thicken. It will thicken as it cools as well.

Step 11

Drizzle the gravy over the roast, potatoes, and carrots and enjoy!
