3 pounds chuck roast I used boneless with nice marbling but a bone-in cut would give you extra nutrients.
2 cups apple juice or apple cider
1 individual tea bag Celestial Seasonings Harvest Spice Tea or 1 tablespoon mulling spices in cheesecloth bag
4 cups beef stock
½ cup apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup honey
1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste I use about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup Tamari soy sauce has wheat
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons minced garlic about 3 cloves, minced
8 medium red potatoes cut in quarters or any vegetables of your choice to fill the crock pot
2 yellow onions cut in quarters or eighths depending on size
16 baby carrots whole or about 1 pound of carrots, washed, peeled and cut in chunks
3 stalks celery cleaned and cut into chunks

Put the roast and all the other ingredients except the vegetables into the crock pot.
Cut and add the vegetables in whatever portion you like to fill the crock pot.
Heat on high until bubbles begin to form.
Reduce the temperature to low and cook for 5 to 6 hours until the vegetables are tender and the roast is fork-tender done.
To serve: The roast will likely fall into pieces as you remove it from the crock pot to a platter. Arrange the roast and vegetables on the serving platter using a slotted spoon to lift them from the crock pot.
Ladle the liquid into a pitcher or thicken the liquid into gravy with a little cornstarch mixed with some of the juice. Put the gravy in a gravy boat to pass.
Add some good French or other hearty bread and a great fall or winter meal is ready to be enjoyed.
