Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing the beef roast directly into your slow cooker, ensuring it's centered for even cooking.
  2. Layer the sliced onions generously over the beef roast.
  3. Carefully pour the beef broth into the slow cooker, then add in the Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce.
  4. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt over the mixture.
  5. Cover your slow cooker tightly, setting it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the beef roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  7. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the cooking liquid in the slow cooker.
  8. Slice the rested beef and lay it on the bread of your choice, spooning the thickened sauce over the top.
