Instructions:
- Prep the Roast:
Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the roast on all sides until browned. This step locks in the flavor. - Prepare the Vegetables:
Place the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic at the bottom of a slow cooker or Dutch oven. - Assemble the Dish:
Lay the seared roast on top of the vegetables. In a separate bowl, mix the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables. - Cook to Perfection:
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or on high for 4-6 hours) in a slow cooker, or bake in a Dutch oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 hours. The roast is done when it’s fork-tender. - Make the Gravy:
Remove the roast and vegetables, then strain the liquid into a saucepan. Simmer until slightly thickened for a flavorful gravy. - Serve:
Slice the roast, arrange it with the vegetables, and drizzle the gravy over the top.
