1. 1

   Rinse the meat with cool water and pat it dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides with some of the pepper.

   Coat a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and preheat over medium-high heat. Place the meat in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.

3. 3

   Place the mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers in a 3-quart slow cooker and top with the roast. Pour the tomatoes over the meat. Top with Italian seasoning.

4. 4

   Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 10 hours, until the meat is very tender.

5. 5

   Remove the roast to a serving platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Add the tomato paste to the remaining slow cooker mixture and stir to mix well.
