Ingredients:
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 lb baby carrots
1 lb baby potatoes (about 15)
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (root end left intact)
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 bay leaves
3 lbs beef chuck roast, tied
kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
oil
Directions:
1. In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, cornstarch, and 1 cup water.
2. Add the carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and bay leaves and toss to combine.
3. Season the beef with 11/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
4. Sear all sides of the roast in a skillet, 1 minuter per side.
5. Remove roast from skillet and set on top of the vegetables.
6. Cover and cook until tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total recipe time).
