Brown on all sides. Place in crock pot with chunks of onion, lots of garlic, salt, pepper, tablespoon of molasses, and some worcestershire sauce or Dales seasoning (but not too much).

Cook low and slow all day. Remove meat. Pour broth into sauce pan (if onion chunks are too large strain them out) Dissolve flour or corn starch in small amount of cold water. Stir into broth and cook (stirring constantly) until thick gravy.

If there is a thick layer of oil or fat on top of the broth skim it off with spoon before making the gravy. Or if you have an extra day you can put it in the fridge and the fat will harden on top of the broth.

My first crock pot was small. The roast would fit in the bottom but was so small we had to put carrots or whatever on top of it. Loved the carrots and they didn’t taste like the roast. Got a bigger one a year or so ago and the carrots could go beside it. I guess they soaked up the meat juice because they tasted totally different.
