Ingredients

  • 2 ½ - 3 pound boneless beef chuck pot roast

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped carrots (2 medium)

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped onion (1 large)

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¾ cup beef broth

  • ¼ cup dry red wine

  • 2 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • teaspoon salt

  • Hot mashed potatoes (optional)

Directions

  1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In a large skillet cook meat in hot oil over medium-high heat until brown on all sides. Drain off fat.

  2. In the cooker combine celery, carrots, onion, bay leaf, and garlic. Top with meat. In a small bowl combine broth, wine, tapioca, Italian seasoning, tomato paste, garlic powder, pepper, dry mustard, paprika, and salt. Pour mixture over meat.

  3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter. Remove and discard bay leaf from cooking liquid; skim off fat. Drizzle cooking liquid over meat and vegetables. If desired, serve with mashed potatoes.
