Instructions

Step 1
Sear Roast – Pat beef dry, season with 1 tsp kosher salt + ½ tsp black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet, sear roast on all sides until browned.
Step 2
Layer in Slow Cooker – Place onion, garlic, carrots, and celery in bottom of slow cooker. Put roast on top.
Step 3
Add Flavor – In a bowl, mix broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, rosemary, and remaining 1 tsp salt + ½ tsp pepper. Pour over roast. Add bay leaves.
Step 4
Cook – Cover and cook on LOW for 8–9 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
Step 5
Make Mashed Potatoes – Boil potatoes in salted water (1 tbsp kosher salt) until soft. Drain. Mash with olive oil + milk, seasoning with ½ tsp salt + ½ tsp pepper. Adjust milk for creaminess.
Step 6
Serve – Slice or shred roast, serve with carrots, celery, and a ladle of cooking liquid (remove bay leaves first). Serve alongside mashed potatoes.
Step 7
[Optional] Gravy Boost – Blend 1 cup of the cooked carrots + some broth until smooth, then stir back in to make a naturally sweet, veggie-thickened gravy.
