1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon New Mexican red chile powder or chili powder, such as Gebhardt (optional)
1 teaspoon ground or crumbled dried sage (optional)
One 3- to 4-pound 7-bone roast or boneless chuck rump roast, patted dry
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup water or beer
1 to 2 bay leaves, to your taste
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, to your taste

1
Combine the salt, rosemary, pepper, coriander, chile powder, and sage in a small bowl.
2
Sprinkle the rub on both sides of the meat.
3
In a heavy Dutch oven or a heavy, deep skillet, heat the oil over high heat.
4
When hot, add the meat and brown well on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
5
Place the meat in the slow cooker.
6
(If you are using a round slow cooker, you may have to cut the meat in half and stack the pieces.)
7
Add the water, then the bay leaf and garlic.
8
Cover and cook on HIGH for about 5 hours, turning the meat once about halfway through cooking, if desired or possible, to coat both sides evenly with the cooking liquid.
