Season both sides of the roast liberally with salt and pepper.

Place the celery in a 4-quart slow cooker. Set the roast on top of the celery and pour in any juices from the skillet. Add the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium, add the mushrooms and the remaining tablespoon of ghee, and sauté for 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and beginning to brown. add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 more minute. Add the beef broth, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat.
Pour the onion and mushroom mixture over the top of the roast in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker, turn the heat to high, and cook the roast for 5 to 6 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
Pull the meat off the bones and discard the bones. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Served over mashed fauxtatoes or cauliflower rice.
