Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear roast 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Lock in those flavors!

Transfer to Crockpot:

Place seared roast in your slow cooker.

Stir in minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add:

½ can (4 oz) tomato sauce

1 packet ranch mix

1 packet au jus mix

Stir until combined and bubbling. Slowly whisk in 2½ cups beef broth until smooth. Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and stir for 3-5 mins until slightly thickened.

Pour & Herb It Up:

Pour that rich gravy over the roast in your crockpot.

Add thyme, rosemary, bay leaves right on top.

Low & Slow:
