Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing one medium onion and placing the rings at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Carefully lay your well-marbled beef roast atop the onions, pressing it gently down.
  3. Pour enough beef broth into the slow cooker to cover about half of the beef roast.
  4. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and additional black pepper directly over the beef roast.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and select the LOW setting, allowing it to simmer for 8 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the beef roast from the slow cooker.
  7. Position a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the broth to separate it from the onions.
  8. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a smooth slurry and stir this mixture into the broth.
  9. To plate your hearty meal, layer slices of bread on individual plates and top them with creamy mashed potatoes.
