Season chuck roast with the steak seasoning. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. When hot, add chuck roast. Brown on all sides. Place in a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker along with the carrots.
In a bowl, mix together condensed mushroon soup, onion soup mix, water, Worcestershire sauce, thyme and pepper. Pour over roast.
Cover slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours.
If you want to thicken the gravy up, mix the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water. Pour into slow cooker and mix in. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 to 20 minutes.If you want to do this step faster, you can pour the gravy into a saucepan, add the cornstrach mixture and bring it to a boil. It will only take a few minutes, but the downside is you will have a saucepan to clean.
