Pot Roast Caribe

Pot Roast Caribe braises into fork-tender beef bathed in a tomato-based sauce layered with cumin, coriander, oregano, chili powder, and a hint of cocoa and cinnamon. Bright orange zest lifts the richness, while potatoes, carrots, and celery soak up the savory-spiced juices. Serve this comforting slow-cooker roast for a cozy weekend dinner or a relaxed gathering.
