Awesome Roast Beef

This roast beef was perfect for sandwich roast beef, but as a main course I usually prefer to brown the roast before the crock pot to add to the flavor.

I followed the instructions plus I made caramelized onions for topping.

First roast that I have made that turned out so good. I didn't have beef broth so actually also used onion soup mix, beef stock, two beef bullion cubes and added about 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce. My 2.25 lb roast took approximately 6 hts to cook in the slow cooker. Then with 2 tablespoons of corn starch, added about 1 cup lukewarm water then combined with 2cups of the pan juices to reduce down at a boil to a gravy that was so yummy.

Terrific!! My 6 and 10 yr old granddaughters ( 6 yr old is PICKY) had seconds! The only change was i used Beefy Mushroom Soup and the Beef Broth and I also put 1 pkt of dry onion soup in. Plenty of cut up red potatos, carrots and qtrd onion. Will make this again and again!

I would like to start off by saying that when it comes to "awesome roast beef" most recipes that I've tried never hold up. However, this recipe actually is "AWESOME"! I did switch out 1 ingredient only because I didn't have beef broth. So I used what I did have on hand...Campbell's French Onion Soup. I whisked the 2 together and put the meat in. I did scoop up some of the soup mixture to put on top of the meat. I set my crock pot on HIGH for 5 hours. And let me tell you it not only smelled delicious. It was delicious! So much so that my husband even drank all of the au jus. Wow! Now that's good!

Soooo good, tender and moist. Was perfect. Made delicious gravy for mashed potatoes.

A great recipe for less tender cuts of beef. I used a 3 pound sirloin tip roast, which I find can be quite dry, when cooked conventionally in the oven. I did add a 1/2 package of dry onion soup mix and lightly seasoned the roast with Montreal steak spice. I removed the roast after 7 and a half hours, it was well done and will try 7 hours next time. We prefer our beef medium, never the less it was tender and flavorful. Thank you for the recipe ELLICAY!
