4 cups water
4 teaspoons beef bouillon
1 cup burgundy wine
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon thyme
1 package onion soup mix
fresh ground pepper to taste
one bag instant brown rice

Directions:
sprinkle seasoned salt on roast
sear roast in olive oil
mix remaining ingredients in a crock pot
add roast
cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 6
leave rice in it's cooking bag and submerge in crock pot one hour before you eat

i've also been experimenting with this in a pressure cooker. it tastes really good, but i haven't got the roast as tender and falling apart as i can in the slow cooker. i'll let you know when i do, or if you have a great secret to do this, please let me in on it!
