Peel and cut the potatoes into large chunks. Wash, peel, and slice the carrots into thick rounds. Peel and roughly chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Sear the beef in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and place in the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the red cabernet wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of the beef broth until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet along with the remaining beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the potato chunks and carrot slices to the crock pot on top of the seared beef. Pour the sauce mixture from the skillet over the beef and vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid, set to low heat, and cook for 8 hours (or on high heat for 4-5 hours) until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft.
Once finished, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm in bowls, with the beef sliced or shredded, and enjoy!
