Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

  5. Slowly pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until smooth.

  9. Drain potatoes and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  10. Shred beef slightly and serve hot over mashed potatoes with plenty of gravy.
