Steps:

Spray the interior of the slow cooker with vegetable spray.
Brown roast on both sides in a small amount of oil in a skillet. Place roast into the slow cooker.
Sprinkle carrots, onions, celery and pickles around the roast in the slow cooker.
Combine wine or broth, mustard, pepper, bay leaves and cloves in a bowl and mix well. Pour over ingredients in the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or to your liking. Then remove meat and vegetables to a large platter - cover to keep warm.

Slice meat and top with vegetables. Serve with gravy on the side.
