Directions
- Pat roast dry. In large, shallow dish, combine garlic and steak spice; rub all over roast. In large Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp (25 mL) of canola oil over medium-high heat and brown roast all over, turning with wooden spoon, about 8 minutes. Transfer to plate; set aside. Drain off fat in pan.
- Reduce heat to medium and heat remaining oil. Fry onions, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer onions to 24 cup (6 L) slow cooker. Top with browned roast. Add beef stock to Dutch oven; bring to boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits. Pour over roast. Cover and cook on low until fork-tender, about 7 hours.
- Remove pot roast; cover and keep warm. Skim fat from pan juices. Whisk flour with ½ cup (125 mL) water, then whisk into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until thickened, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with roast.
