Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and begin by searing the roast on all four sides. This is really important because it creates a much richer flavor! Each side will take about 3-4 minutes on high heat. Once seared, cut the roast in 4 pieces.

Step 2

Place pieces of meat into slow cooker. Add in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic, onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, broth, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Cover with lid.

Step 3

Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove bay leaf. Shredded meat with two forks.
