Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 beef chuck roast (4-5 lbs)
2 tbs olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, thyme, oregano, rosemary (Italian spice blend will do if you do not have the spices separate)
1 bulb garlic (or to taste)
1 onion, 1 carrot per person, 1 potato per person cut into bite sized pieces
Directions:
Directions:
Season the roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat some oil in a pan on high heat and sear the roast well on all sides. Chop up the herbs and garlic put a little in the bottom of your crock-pot and put the roast on top. Coat the entire surface with the remaining herbs and garlic. Slice the onion up and place the pieces on top. Cover and let cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for about 5 hours until it falls apart. You can add carrots and potatoes on the bottom if you want- Or do them separately.
For Gravy: Pour the juices into a saucepan through a strainer. Let it sit for a couple minutes until the grease rises to the top. Use a ladle to skim off the grease. Take about 1/4 cup or so of the remaining juice and mix it in a small bowl with a few tablespoons of corn starch or flour until smooth. Add this mixture back to the rest of the juice in the saucepan and whisk together until combined. Cook on medium-high heat until thickened, whisking constantly. Add a little water if it gets too thick.
For the Carrots (if not cooking them with the roast):Slice the carrots into thin sticks. Coat with a little olive oil, a few chopped cloves of garlic, some dried or fresh rosemary or thyme, and salt and pepper. Line them on a baking sheet so that they aren't overlapping too much. Broil in the oven until tender, stirring a couple of times. For some color- add cranraisins and a drizzle of honey
For the Potatoes: (if not cooking them with the roast): Peel them, boil, drain, mash them, :)
