Instructions

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and rub both sides generously with Montreal steak seasoning and smoked paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast for 3-4 minutes on each side until well-browned.
Place sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker and set the seared roast on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar (or wine). Pour this mixture over the roast.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or HIGH for 5-6 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
Remove the beef, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker to soak up the juices for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Optional: Thicken the sauce with a slurry made of 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water. Whisk until smooth and pour into the sauce while shredding the beef. Increase the heat to high and cook for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
