2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the roast and sear on each side for 3-4 minutes, until a brown crust has developed. Decrease heat slightly if needed during cooking.
3. Remove from heat and place in a greased crock pot.
4. Add 1 TBS of olive oil to the skillet and saute garlic for 1 minute. Add vinegar, tomato paste, dijon mustard and beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil.
5. Meanwhile, prep your veggies and potatoes. Add them to the crockpot, on top of your chuck roast.
6. Pour sauce over the veggies and meat. Add 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary and 2 bay leaves on top
7. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 6-8 hours. Carefully remove the carrots, potatoes, and the roast and set on a serving platter.
8. If desired, mix ¼ cup of hot liquid from the crockpot with 2 TBS cornstarch. Add to a small saucepan, along with the rest of the liquid from the crockpot. Heat on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until it has thickened and pour over the roast.
