🥩 Slow Cooker Saucy Beef Chuck

Slow Cooker Saucy Beef Chuck is a comforting, set-it-and-forget-it meal that transforms simple ingredients into a rich and deeply flavorful dinner. By slow cooking beef chuck in a savory sauce, the meat becomes incredibly tender while absorbing all the delicious flavors.

The slow cooker allows the beef to cook low and slow until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender and coated in a thick, glossy sauce. Perfect for busy days, family dinners, or cozy comfort meals.

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into large chunks
• ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup beef broth
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons water (if thickening)

Optional Garnish

• Chopped parsley
• Green onions

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
   Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil.
2. Add the Beef
   Place the beef chuck chunks into the slow cooker and spread them evenly across the bottom.
3. Make the Sauce
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, beef broth, minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and olive oil until fully combined.
4. Pour the Sauce
   Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef chunks, ensuring most pieces are coated.
5. Slow Cook
   Cover and cook on:
   • LOW: 7–8 hours
   • HIGH: 4–5 hours

   The beef should become extremely tender and easy to pull apart with a fork.

6. Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
   For a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker during the last 20 minutes of cooking and allow the sauce to thicken.
7. Serve
   Stir the beef gently in the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve hot.
