Cooking Instructions
  1. Prepare the Onions: Place sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker, creating a flavorful foundation for your beef to rest upon.
  2. Layer the Beef: Nestle the beef roast snugly over the onions.
  3. Add the Cooking Liquid: Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, covering the roast entirely.
  4. Season Generously: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, and salt over the beef.
  5. Cook Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours until fork-tender.
  6. Shred the Beef: Remove the beef from the cooker and shred it using two forks.
  7. Thicken the Gravy: Strain the onion mixture, then whisk cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, adding it to the cooking liquid.
  8. Serve It Up: Layer toasted bread, mashed potatoes, shredded beef, and drizzle thick gravy on top.
