Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds beef chuck roast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
3 medium celery stalks, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons cold water

Instructions

Season the beef chuck roast evenly with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
Place the carrots, celery, and onion in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add the minced garlic, then place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Add the bay leaves to the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the roast and vegetables from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Discard the bay leaves from the slow cooker. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering liquid and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve the pot roast sliced or shredded with the cooked vegetables and spoon the thickened gravy over the top.
