Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Beef Manhattan

Start by chopping the sweet onions, mincing fresh garlic, and dicing the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Sear the beef chuck roast for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned.
In the slow cooker, layer the seared beef chuck roast, followed by the chopped onions, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Sprinkle in the fresh thyme and place the bay leaves.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
After cooking, use a fork to shred the beef in the slow cooker, mixing it with the gravy and vegetables. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
