Step:

Brown roast in oil on all sides. Place in large slow cooker and top with onions.
In same skillet, add buttermilk, water, bullion, thyme and pepper. Bring to simmer.
Mix cornstarch with enough cold water to make a watery paste. Add to skillet and simmer/ stir until thickened.
Pour gravy over roast. Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours.
I usually thicken the gravy after the roast is done by repeating the cornstarch water process before serving. Hubby likes his gravy thicker :)
Serve with mashed potatoes!
