Instructions

  • Generously season your roast with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil and 2 tbs of butter over medium heat.

  • In the same skillet, sauté the onion, celery and garlic over low heat for about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  • Cook on low for 7-10 hours or high for 5-8.
  • When it is finished, remove everything from the crockpot. Shred the meat if desired.
  • Mix a corn starch slurry of 3 tbs corn starch and 3 tbs water. Mix that into the juice remaining in the slow cooker and allow it to thicken up for about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Notes

I have not had any luck using my pressure cooker for roasts. I just don't like the way they turn out. I feel that low and slow results in the most tender and flavorful meat. If you do wish to do this in a pressure cooker, the time should be at least 3 hours.
