CROCK POT ROAST

Steps:

• Pat roast completely dry. Combine seasoning ingredients and massage it onto all sides of the roast, followed by the flour.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shiny and heated, add the roast and sear on each side for 2-3 minutes, until a brown crust has developed. Decrease heat slightly if needed during cooking. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Whisk together the gravy ingredients and add some of it to the skillet that you used to sear the roast. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the skillet, this will give the gravy more flavor. Transfer it to the slow cooker along with the remaining gravy, followed by the pot roast and any juices from the plate.
• Cut the potatoes in half or thirds of equal size. (If 1-2 inch potatoes, you can leave them whole.)
• Peel the carrots and slice them into halves or thirds. Very thick carrots can also be sliced in half lengthwise.
• Arrange the potatoes around the roast and top with carrots. Place the lid securely on top and resist the temptation to open it during cooking as you'll lose a lot of heat.
• Cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.
• Carefully remove the carrots, potatoes, and the roast and set on a serving platter. Tent with foil.
