Method
In Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown roast all over. Transfer to slow cooker.
Leaving root end intact, peel and quarter onions; add to slow cooker along with garlic. Whisk together orange rind and juice, sherry, thyme, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until meat is tender.
With slotted spoon, remove onions to warm platter; cover and keep warm. Transfer meat to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before thickly slicing. Arrange over onions.
Sauce: Meanwhile, skim fat from liquid in slow cooker. Whisk flour with 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; whisk into slow cooker. Add capers and olives; cover and cook on high, stirring once, for 15 minutes or until thickened. Pour about 1/2 cup (125 mL) over beef. Serve with remaining sauce.
