Slow Cooker Beef Roast

How to Make

• Step 1: Combine together seasoning mix in a small bowl. Set aside.

• Step 2: Coat both sides of meat with olive oil. Sprinkle on only 1/3 of the seasoning mix onto each side.

• Step 3: Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in roast and brown on all sides. Transfer roast to slow cooker.

• Step 4: Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle on a little olive oil to coat vegetables. Sprinkle on the remaining seasoning mix.

• Step 5: Add the vegetables to the same skillet that was used to sear the meat. Sauté for about five minutes – stirring occasionally. Transfer the vegetables to the top of the roast in the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth. Cover with lid.

• Step 6: Cook on low for 9 hours or on high for 6 hours.

• Step 7: Transfer juices to a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat on the stovetop. Whisk together the cornstarch with a little water. Blend into the pan juices while whisking. Bring back to a simmer until thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

• Step 8: Transfer the roast and vegetables to a large platter. Ladle the gravy over. Serve immediately.
