• 1 cup red wine (optional)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary

2. Prepare base: Place onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes in the slow cooker.
3. Layer: Place seared roast on top of vegetables. Add beef broth, wine (if using), tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
