Preparation

Step 1

In slow cooker, place potatoes, carrots, and garlic. Rub beef pot roast with rosemary, salt, and pepper; place on top of vegetables. Add water and wine. Cover and cook on low 10 – 11 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender. Remove pot roast. Arrange pot roast and vegetables on serving platter; cover and keep warm. Just before serving, carve pot roast across the grain into think slices. For gravy, strain cooking liquid; skim off fat. In small saucepan, combine 2 cups cooking liquid and cornstarch mixture until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir 1 minute or until thickened. Garnish beef and vegetables with parsley; serve with gravy.
