Season the beef chuck roast on all sides with salt, black pepper, and caraway seeds. Gently rub the seasonings into the meat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step locks in flavor.
Transfer the seared beef to the bottom of a crock pot (slow cooker).
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of beef broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
Pour the deglazed broth and garlic mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
Layer the sliced onion, carrots, celery, and baby potatoes around and on top of the roast in the crock pot.
Add the remaining beef broth to the crock pot, ensuring the liquid covers most of the vegetables. Toss in the bay leaves.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 8 hours (or on high for 4-5 hours) until the beef is fall-apart tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Once finished, remove the bay leaves. Shred or slice the beef as desired and serve with the vegetables and flavorful broth.
