Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.

Pat roast dry. Season liberally on all sides with Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Add roast to the large saute pan and sear on all sides (including the edges), cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side. Place in slow cooker.

Without wiping out the pan, reduce heat to medium, add onion along with a couple pinches of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally for about 4 minutes.

Add garlic, tomato paste, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Cook for another minute or so.

Add Worcestershire sauce to the pot along with a couple splashes of beef stock to deglaze the bottom and scrape the yummy bits off.

Add the onion and garlic mixture, carrots, and potatoes to the large crock pot. Pour in remaining beef stock. Add a few liberal pinches of salt and pepper.

Nestle fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, and bay leaves into the veggies.

Put the lid on and cook on high for 5-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours or until the roast shreds easily.

To make gravy, if desired, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan on the stove over medium heat.

Dissolve 3 tablespoons cornstarch in 3 tablespoons cold water. Stir cornstarch slurry into the stock.

Bring gravy to a simmer and simmer, stirring frequently for a few minutes or until the gravy thickens to your liking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Garnish roast with fresh chopped parsley and serve with gravy.
