Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast or rump roast
  • ½ t sea salt
  • ½ t black pepper
  • ½ t garlic powder
  • 3 T olive oil divided
  • 1 large onion diced in large wedges
  • 12 baby carrots
  • 2 celery stalks cut in large chunks
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary plus additional for garnish
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 T balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Rub the pot roast on all sides with the sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • (Note, the following step is recommended for best flavor, but is optional. If preferred, move on to the next step without searing the meat.) In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over high heat. Sear the pot roast for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Place the seared pot roast in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pot roast. Arrange the onion, carrots, celery, and rosemary around the pot roast.
  • Pour the beef broth and balsamic vinegar around the pot roast.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or until the pot roast pulls apart with a fork.
  • Remove the roast from the slow cooker and slice into pieces. Serve with the onions, carrots, and celery. Garnish with additional rosemary.
