Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef roast with salt and pepper, then sear all sides until browned, about 4 minutes per side.
Remove the beef from the skillet and add the sliced onions. Sauté until softened and golden brown.
Place the caramelized onions in the bottom of the slow cooker and set the seared roast on top.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and dried thyme.
Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and onions.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Remove the roast to a plate and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the onion gravy from the pot.
