How to Make Beef Pot Roast Crock Pot Style

1. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Sear the beef roast in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step helps develop rich flavor.
3. Place the seared beef roast in your crock-pot.
4. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the crock-pot.
5. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
6. Add the bay leaves.
7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
8. Remove the beef roast from the crock-pot and shred it with two forks.
9. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
10. Thicken the cooking liquid (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Slowly whisk the mixture into the cooking liquid in the crock-pot. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until thickened.
11. Return the shredded beef to the crock-pot and stir to combine with the gravy.
12. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
