My Really Good Beef Roast (Crock Pot)
- 2 -3 lbs eye of round roast
- 1 ounce herb brown gravy mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 red potatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 fresh carrots or 15 fresh baby carrots
- Rinse roast under cool water.
- Add roast to crock pot.
- Sprinkle brown gravy mix on and around roast.
- Add 1/2 cup water around roast.
- Add quartered potatoes around roast.
- Sprinkle ranch mix over roast and potatoes.
- Season potatoes with salt.
- Set crock pot on high for 3 hours.
- Cut carrots same size as quartered potatoes or if using baby carrots, use whole. Add carrots and additional 1/2 cup water if you like a thinner gravy or au jus.
- Change setting to low for 2 more hours.
- Slice roast on serving platter, surround with veggies.
- Serve gravy or au jus on the side.
- *Any cut of roast would probably work, but this is a good, lean cut that doesn't require trimming and also slices nicely. A larger roast may also be used.
- *Cooking: You can also add the carrots after step 7 and cook on low for 6-8 hours total. The carrots will just be a little softer than the other method.
