Place the beef roast inside your 6-quart slow cooker, sprinkle one packet of zesty Italian dressing mix over the top, then flip and coat the other side for maximum flavor.

Pour 1 cup of beef broth gently around the beef roast to keep it moist and infuse flavor.

Scatter cubed potatoes and baby carrots around the beef roast, ensuring they're coated in broth.

Cover the slow cooker, set to low heat, and let it cook for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is fork-tender.

For optional gravy, collect drippings and whisk cornstarch with cold water. Bring to boil to thicken.

Remove the meat and vegetables from the cooker, garnish with chopped parsley if using.
