For a 2-3.5 lb Chuck roast: pat dry with paper towels and combine the following rub mixture.
1 T kosher salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground pepper

Combine the dry rub and rub all over the meat. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a 12” skillet on medium high heat and sear rubbed meat on both sides for a crust to form. Remove and place into preheated slow cooker. Turn heat down to medium. Add onion to the skillet and scrap up browned bits. When onions begin to soften, add crushed garlic. Stir until fragrant. Pour in the red wine and let it come to a boil to burn off the alcohol then add the canned tomatoes. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes and carefully pour the mixture over the meat in the slow cooker.

5 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 medium turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
