Place beef on topo of onion mixture; pour in cider mixture.

Cover and cook at LOW until beef is very tender when pierced (9½ - 10 hours).

Lift roast to a warm platter and keep warm. Skim and discard fat from cooking liquid, if necessary; then blend in cornstarch (blended in cold water). Increase heat to HIGH; cover and cook, stirring 2 or 3 times, until sauce is thickened (about 15 more minutes). Season to taste with salt.
