Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb bottom round roast (1.4 kg)
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary crushed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic smashed
  • 2 cups beef broth (480 ml)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method
 

  1. Rub the roast with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme and rosemary.
  2. Sear in the oil in a hot skillet until browned on all sides.
  3. Add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker, set the roast on top, and pour in the broth and Worcestershire. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours until tender enough to slice.
  4. Rest 15 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.
  5. Strain the liquid, skim the fat, and serve warm with the beef.

Notes

Cook on LOW until tender; for a pink center pull at 130 to 135°F.
