## 👩🍳 Instructions
1. **Season the roast** generously with salt and pepper.
2. **Heat olive oil** in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, about 4 minutes per side, to lock in flavor.
3. **Transfer the roast** to the slow cooker.
4. **Add carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic** around the roast.
5. **In a bowl**, whisk together beef broth, red wine (if using), and tomato paste. Pour over the roast and vegetables.
6. **Add rosemary or thyme sprigs** on top.
7. **Cover and cook** on low for 8–10 hours, or on high for 4–6 hours, until the beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
8. **Remove the roast and veggies** to a serving platter.
9. **Optional:** Use the cooking liquid to make a gravy—strain, simmer, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
10. **Serve hot**, ideally with crusty bread to soak up all that delicious sauce.
