Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer it to the crock pot.
Peel and chop the yellow onion into large chunks, and add it to the crock pot.
Peel and cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces, then add them to the crock pot.
Cut the celery into 2-inch pieces and add them to the crock pot.
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into quarters. Add them to the crock pot around the roast.
Peel the garlic cloves, leaving them whole, and scatter them over the vegetables.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaves. Pour this mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Once done, remove the bay leaves and discard them. Shred the beef into large chunks if desired, and serve hot with the vegetables and cooking juices spooned over.
