There is nothing as great as coming home to a meal ready to eat!  This amazing roast cooks up in the slow cooker all day!  The result is the most tender roast with a delicious and flavorful gravy!

We’ve eaten this with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies but it is also amazing sliced thinly and eaten as a beef dip!  Either way, you’ll love how this simple dish can taste so amazing!

Instructions

1. Season roast with salt, pepper & parsley. Place olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove from pan and place in slow cooker.
2. Reduce heat to medium low and add onions to the pan, just until softened. Place onions on top of roast. Add broth, soy & Worcestershire to the pan and stir up any browned bits left in the bottom. Add to slow cooker along with garlic & rosemary sprigs.
   
   
3. Cook on low 8-10 hours or until tender. Remove roast and let sit 15 minutes before cutting.

Gravy

1. Strain juices from slow cooker to remove rosemary/onions. Skim any fat from the top.
2. Pour into a saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a boil. In a small glass make a slurry of 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/2 cup COLD water or beef broth.
3. With the broth boiling, add some of the slurry mixture while constantly stirring. Once gravy has reached desired consistency, season with salt/pepper to taste and let bubble gently for 2 minutes.
