Instructions
1
Begin by seasoning the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides, then dredge it evenly in all-purpose flour to create a nice crust.
2
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the roast and sear it for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish.
3
While the roast is browning, grab your slow cooker and combine the frozen pearl onions, minced garlic, chopped celery, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, dried oregano, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and red wine.
4
Once the roast is nicely browned, transfer it to the slow cooker, placing it on top of the mixed ingredients. Spoon some of the sauce mixture over the roast to coat it well.
5
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Allow it to cook for 6 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
6
Before serving, shred the roast into bite-sized pieces and stir it in the sauce for an even distribution of flavors. Serve over warm noodles or mashed potatoes and enjoy!
