just stir in a slurry of corn starch and water at the end and heat to thicken.

about 2 T of cornstarch and 1/4 c water should do it. I don't use tapioca either.

If I did it in the crockpot would you think

adding the cornstarch slurry about an hour before the finishing time? I'm assuming it will take about 7 hours. It's a fairly small roast though.

yes, crank up the heat to high for the last hour then, or add some flour at the beginning

dust the beef with the flour before putting in the crockpot---should be sufficient to thicken this. I love this dish.

Thank you . I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow. (nt).

yay, so glad you liked it! It's just a bit different for a beef stew.
