Remove the roast after cooking and slice it up.

Strain the juices from the crock pot to make gravy.

Cook butter and olive oil in a pan, then add onions and garlic until fragrant.

Add 2 tablespoons of red wine to the mixture.

Mix 3 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and some black pepper in a bowl with a ladle of the warm juice.

Combine the flour mixture with the onion, red wine, and remaining juices.

Add 2 cups of broth and mix until the gravy thickens.
