Instructions
- Season the beef roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the roast until browned on all sides.
- Transfer the roast to the slow cooker. Add onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and potatoes around the roast.
- Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle thyme and rosemary on top.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily shredded.

- Serve the roast sliced with vegetables and gravy on top.
Notes
For extra flavor, sear the roast first and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Leftovers make great sandwiches or tacos.
