Step 2: In a small bowl, mix together the dried parsley flakes, basil, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion salt. Mix until combined then sprinkle on top of the roast.

Once the roast is fork tender and can be shredded, take two forks and shred the beef. Place roast back into the broth and allow it to cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.
