Cajun Slow Cooker Pot Roast

1 Rub the seasoning into the meat on all surfaces and set aside.
2 Heat about 2 tablespoons of the oil in your pan until shimmering.
3 Add the vegetables and garlic but do not crowd - do it in two batches if necessary.
4 When the vegetables blacken slightly around the edges turn them and caramelize on the other side.
5 Remove the vegetables from the pan and add a little more oil.
6 Sear the meat well on all sides.
7 Remove the meat from the pan and pour the wine into (deglaze) the pan, scraping the bottom and sides until all of the bits that are stuck on are loosened.
8 Add the beef stock and simmer until it's reduced by about 1/4.
9 Add the vegetables to the slow cooker, place the meat on top, and pour the wine mixture over all.
10 Slow cook for eight to ten hours on low.
11 Serve with rice.
