Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the beef roast dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sear the beef for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Slow Cooking
  1. Spread chopped onion, carrots, and celery in the slow cooker.
  2. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker on top of the vegetables and scatter minced garlic around it.
  3. Pour diced tomatoes and beef broth over the beef and vegetables, then add fresh rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and optional dried oregano.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
Finishing and Serving
  1. Remove the beef from the slow cooker, discard bay leaf and herb stems, then shred the beef with two forks.
  2. Return shredded beef to the cooking liquid to keep it moist or spoon liquid over when serving.
  3. Serve hot with your preferred Whole30 compliant side dishes.

Notes

For best flavor, consider searing the roast in batches if your skillet is not large enough to avoid overcrowding. Ensure all vegetables are cut into similar-sized chunks for even cooking.
