Instructions:
1. Sear the Roast: Season the roast with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes per side). This step adds flavor.
2. Prepare the Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, add the chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and potatoes. Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour beef broth over the roast, then add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary.
4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the roast is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
5. Make the Gravy: Once the roast is done, remove it from the slow cooker and transfer the vegetables to a serving dish. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with 2 tbsp water, then add to the liquid. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens.
6. Serve: Slice the roast, drizzle it with the gravy, and serve with the roasted vegetables.
Enjoy your tender, flavorful roast with rich gravy!
