Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Place the 3-pound beef roast in a large bowl and sprinkle generously with ground black pepper. Pour enough Coca-Cola from the 2-liter bottle over the roast to nearly cover it, then add 2 bay leaves. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
-
Step 2.
The next day, drain and discard the Coca-Cola and bay leaves. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Add 1 cup beef broth, 1 cup baby carrots, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1 cup diced onion, 2 stalks diced celery, 4 sliced red potatoes, and 1 cup green beans (snapped and halved). Season with additional black pepper to taste, a pinch of dried parsley, and a pinch of dried basil. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3.
Set the slow cooker to high and cook for 3 hours. Then, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 3 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are soft. Serve hot.
