2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 onion, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 stalks celery, cut into large chunks (optional)
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 tablespoon kosher salt

Combine seasoning mix ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Coat both sides of meat with olive oil. Sprinkle a third of the seasoning mix onto each side.

Sear both sides of the meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer roast to slow cooker.

Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Drizzle on a little olive oil to coat vegetables. Sprinkle on the remaining seasoning mix. Add the vegetables to the same skillet that was used to sear the meat. Saute for about five minutes - stirring occasionally.
