# Instructions:
01 - Pat the beef chuck roast dry and season all sides evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, then transfer it to the slow cooker.
03 - Arrange sliced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery around the roast inside the slow cooker.
04 - Whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.
05 - Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender enough to shred with a fork.
06 - About 40 minutes before serving, place peeled potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly and return to pot.
07 - Add unsalted butter and whole milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Add additional milk as needed for desired consistency.
08 - Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5 minutes. Discard bay leaves, then shred or slice the beef.
09 - Plate the shredded beef and vegetables over mashed potatoes, drizzle with pan juices, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
