Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast

Step 1

Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Mix flour, salt, and pepper. Cut beef roast into 4 large pieces, coat in flour mixture, and sear until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes per side. Place in slow cooker.

Step 2

In large bowl, lightly stir together remaining ingredients. Pour over the beef in crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours, or on low for 10 hours, or until meat is tender. Turn crockpot off and allow the pot roast to cool in the juices for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Lightly shred the meat, or cut it into chunks and serve with the vegetables and sauce over mashed potatoes, polenta, or pasta..
