💡 Cooking Tips:

🔹 Sear the Roast First – Browning the meat in a skillet before adding it to the crockpot adds extra flavor.

🔹 Add Red Wine – Swap part of the beef broth for red wine to give the sauce a rich, Italian depth.

🔹 Thicken the Sauce – Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water and stir in 30 mins before serving for a thicker gravy.
