Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds eye of round roast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large, sliced yellow onion
- 4 large, peeled and cut into chunks carrots
- 3 large, peeled and cut into chunks russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Season the eye of round roast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, rubbing the seasoning evenly over the surface of the meat.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until it is browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.
Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast, ensuring the liquid evenly surrounds the meat.
Add the sliced onion, carrot chunks, and potato chunks around the roast in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for about 8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
After 8 hours, carefully remove the roast and vegetables from the crock pot, arranging them on a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
To make the gravy, pour the liquid left in the crock pot into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and water until smooth, then slowly mix this into the saucepan.
Cook the gravy over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with the cooked vegetables and freshly made gravy.
