Instructions

1. Prep & Sear:

Season roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear roast on all sides until browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).

2. Layer the Slow Cooker:

Add potatoes, carrots, onions, and garlic to the bottom of your slow cooker.

Place seared roast on top of the veggies.

3. Add Liquids:

Mix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste (if using). Pour over roast and veggies. Add bay leaf.

4. Cook Low & Slow:

Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or on HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.

5. Serve & Enjoy:

Remove bay leaf. Shred roast slightly before serving with the cooked veggies and spoonfuls of that savory broth.
