Ingredients

3 lb. chuck roast (or eye of round, or rump roast)
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion (diced)
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
4 carrots (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
2 stalks celery (sliced into ½-inch pieces)
1 lb. Yukon potatoes (or red potatoes, 1-2 pounds, cut into 1-inch pieces or halved/quartered if small)
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
½ Tbsp. dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
3 cups beef broth
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

Generously season a 3 lb. chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter and add 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Once the butter is melted add the roast and sear golden-brown on all sides. Transfer to large slow cooker, keep the pan hot.
Dice 1 large yellow onion and add to the pan along with 1 Tbsp. garlic powder. Cook, stirring, until golden, then add 2 Tbsp. tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Transfer to the slow cooker, keep the pan hot.
Add 1 cup dry red wine to the pan. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom and stir them into the wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce reduces by half. Pour into the cooker with roast and onions.
Chop 4 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and 1-2 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes. Add with 1 Tbsp. dried thyme, ½ Tbsp. dried rosemary, and 2 bay leaves to the slow cooker. Then, pour in 3 cups beef stock.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until beef and vegetables are tender.During the last hour of cooking, add 2 Tbsp. cornstarch to a small bowl and mix with ¼ cup of the liquid from the slow cooker. Whisk until combined, then pour back into the slow cooker and stir to mix.
Taste the broth, then season with salt and pepper as necessary. Remove the chuck roast when done and shred with two forks. Discard bay leaves and sprinkle the roast with fresh parsley (if using). Serve warm, and enjoy!

Tips:

Choosing the right cut of meat is essential for a tender and flavorful roast. Look for a chuck roast with good marbling, as this will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
Browning the meat before slow cooking is an important step that helps to develop flavor and color. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot skillet over medium-high heat until it is well browned on all sides.
Using a variety of vegetables in your roast adds flavor and nutrition. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips.
Adding a flavorful liquid to the slow cooker helps to keep the meat moist and flavorful. Good choices include beef broth, water, or a combination of both.
Cooking the roast on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours ensures that the meat is cooked through and tender.
Letting the roast rest for 15-20 minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
