Ingredients:
– 1 (3-4 lb) beef roast (such as chuck or round)
– 2 tablespoons oil (such as olive or vegetable oil)
– 1 tablespoon Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, sliced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 quart beef stock
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 2 tablespoons oil (for making the roux)

Instructions:
1. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, and Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the roast to the crockpot.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced onion. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the beef stock and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the garlic, onion, and beef stock mixture over the roast in the crockpot.
5. Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the roast is fork-tender.
6. Once the roast is done, remove it from the crockpot and transfer it to a serving platter. Cover it with foil to keep warm while you make the gravy.
7. Strain the liquid from the crockpot into a saucepan, discarding the solids. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.
8. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and oil to make a smooth paste (roux). Gradually whisk the roux into the simmering liquid until smooth.
9. Cook the gravy, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes.
10. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
11. Slice the roast and serve it with the homemade gravy poured over the top. Enjoy your tender and flavorful crockpot roast with gravy!
