Combine together seasoning mix in a small bowl; set aside.
Line a slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Coat both sides of roast with olive oil; sprinkle on one third of the seasoning mix onto each side.
Sear both sides of the roast in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Transfer roast to the slow cooker. Do not clean the skillet at this point.
Place the prepared vegetables in a large bowl; drizzle on a little olive oil to coat vegetables; sprinkle on the remaining seasoning mix. Place the vegetables in the same skillet that was used to sear the meat; sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the vegetables on top of the roast; pour in the beef stock/broth; cover. Cook on Low 9 hours or on High 6 hours.
Using a turkey baster, remove most of the cooking juices/liquid from the slow cooker and transfer them to a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat on the stovetop. Whisk together cornstarch with a little water; blend into pan juices while whisking. Bring back to a simmer, until thickened. Taste; adjust seasonings, to taste.
Transfer roast and vegetables to a large platter; slice; ladle gravy on top. Serve immediately.
4-6 servings.
