            <\/span>How to Make It<\/h3>\n

            Now let\u2019s get cooking! The Slow Cooker Pot Roast<\/em> is a beautiful blend of simple steps that brings everyone together.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. First, pat the roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. This helps develop that lovely crust we all adore! Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until it\u2019s beautifully browned. You\u2019ll love that sizzling sound as it hits the pan!<\/li>\n
            2. Next, place the sliced onions, carrots, and potatoes in the bottom of your slow cooker. Lay the seared roast right on top of those vibrant veggies.<\/li>\n
            3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for around 30 seconds over medium heat. Stir in the tomato paste and let it cook for another minute until it\u2019s fragrant. Oh, you\u2019ll want to savor that aroma!<\/li>\n
            4. Now, pour in the red wine, making sure to scrape up any delicious browned bits that are stuck to the pan. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then pour this savory mixture over the roast and veggies in the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
            5. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours, or on high for 5 to 6 hours, until the beef becomes fork-tender, and the vegetables are soft. The smell alone will have your mouth watering!<\/li>\n
            6. Once done, carefully remove the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan, discarding the solids. This will be your luscious gravy!<\/li>\n
            7. Bring that liquid to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry (that\u2019s the cornstarch mixed with cold water). Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens up nicely.<\/li>\n
            8. Finally, slice or shred the roast, spoon the rich gravy over, and serve everything together with the veggies. Your heart will be happy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
