Instructions

Combine the garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, and salt in a small bowl, whisking until mixed.
Rub the spice mixture thoroughly over the eye of round roast.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and sear the roast on all sides until browned, then set aside.
Reduce skillet heat to medium, add onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another minute.
Deglaze the skillet with red wine, stirring to lift browned bits off the bottom. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and mix in thyme and brown sugar.
Pour the wine mixture into the slow cooker. Add the roast and surround it with diced vegetables. Pour beef broth around the meat without over it.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5-6 hours until the meat is fork tender.
Transfer the roast to a platter and arrange vegetables around it. Tent with foil while preparing the gravy.

Notes

Using a high-quality red wine enhances the flavor of the roast.
Make sure the roast is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking results.
You can use additional vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips, according to your preference.
