Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Season and Brown (optional but ideal):<\/strong>
    \nDry the meat with paper towels, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sear it in hot oil until nicely browned.<\/li>\n
  2. Prepare Vegetables:<\/strong>
    \nAdd potatoes, carrots, and sliced onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
  3. Add Meat and Seasonings:<\/strong>
    \nPlace the roast on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle on garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary.<\/li>\n
  4. Add Liquid:<\/strong>
    \nMix beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste (if using), then pour over the roast.<\/li>\n
  5. Slow Cook:<\/strong>
    \nCover and cook for\u00a08\u201310 hours on Low<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a05\u20136 hours on High<\/strong>, until the roast is fork-tender.<\/li>\n
  6. Make the Gravy:<\/strong>
    \nRemove the roast and vegetables. Pour the cooking liquid into a pot, bring to a light boil, and stir in a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with cold water) until the sauce thickens.<\/li>\n
