Slow Cooker Roast Beef

Excellent recipe, but it did NOT take 22 hours! I prepared a 3 pound chuck roast using low sodium soy sauce and the soup mix. It was ready in about 6 hours, and it was AMAZING! Fork tender, with mashed potatoes, au jus, and creamed carrots. It was definitely a hit tonight, especially since my aging mom just moved in with me and she said she hadn’t had roast beef in 30 years. I don’t know how true that is, but we will definitely be making this one again. So easy and delicious!

I use beef broth instead of water, I usually add carrots and potatoes. I’ve never cooked it 22 hours, 8-10 maximum on high.

I have been making this one for years, but I put my carrots, potatoes and cabbage with it and it’s even better. I put celery in it before I add the roast, so it is sitting on them.

This was such an easy and delicious recipe for my large family. I cooked 6 lbs. of chuck roast in my 7 qt. Crock-Pot. I did not change any of the other ingredient amounts, although I didn’t have a packet of French onion soup mix, so I used a packet of beef onion. I suspect almost any of the Lipton dry soup packets would work. I did use low-sodium soy sauce, as well. I started it at 8:30 in the evening and let it cook until 6:30 the next night, before serving it over mashed potatoes. It was fall-apart tender, and everyone (11 peeps) loved it!

Very simple and tasty. Impossible to get wrong

I doubled the ingredients, and was kicking myself because I felt that I should’ve use beef broth instead of water. I put it in crockpot for 10 hours, and everything came out perfect! Even with using the water it had perfect balance. Another excellent recipe in the books!!!

Came out Perfect !!!!! 😉

Excellent. Tastes great and makes a great gravy.

This is a great recipe. I’m not a salt lover so I used low sodium soy sauce. also used unsalted beef broth instead of water.

This doesn’t require anywhere close to 22 hours. I left it in the slow cooker for five hours, and had to remove it from the slow cooker in chunks, because the roast was falling apart. It’s very easy to shred the meat for sandwiches, but all but impossible to slice it for plating as one might do with a traditional pot roast serving. I also found the meat to be pretty dry, but that is remedied by spooning a bit of the au jus over the meat before warming in the microwave.

The meat was perfectly done, but my crowd found it too salty – probably due to the use of both onion soup mix and tamari sauce (we’re gluten free, so we use tamari sauce instead of convential soy sauce). I’ll make this again, but I’ll switch out the tamari/soy sauce and use a good, dry red wine instead.

My daughter-in-law and son lives this roast!!! Definitely will make this roast from now on

I love this recipe. Exactly. As. Is. I work long shifts & commute. I was excited that I could start this recipe before I went to bed & dinner would be ready by the time I got home from work the next day. The 22 hours lots of people thought was too long was absolutely perfect for me. Of course you can add any veggies you want to it, or modify it to whatever floats your boat. But if you want a simple roast beef for sandwiches, something easy with wonderful flavor….. then this 5 star recipe is it. Oh….. it didn’t turn to jerky or become tough or turn to mush (I saw that in a few reviews). It was beyond perfect in flavor & texture.

Had to make my own mushroom soup as my wife can’t have wheat . Loads of mushrooms , onion and garlic , milk and beef broth . Came out perfect . Ya need biscuits to dip with this meal . Awesome

The best tasting beef roast in a long time

I have made this twice and it came out fantastic both times. It is ridiculously easy. The gravy you can make from the liquid is out of this world good. The only thing I changed is I add a whole chopped onion and instead of water I sub beef broth, but I’m sure it would be just as good with just water and no onion. I was worried at first that it would be too salty, but it is not. It does not need to cook for 22 hours. I put it on low while I am gone at work so about 9 or 10 hours .

Amazing!! I made it exactly as the recipe says except it was finished cooking in 8 hours. We will definitely be having this regularly.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about the soy sauce but this was THE BEST ROAST BEEF IN THE HISTORY OF ROAST BEEF. My family went nuts over it. I made it exactly as written, aside from cooking time (10 hours on low), and will continue to do so. Throw all of your other roast beef recipes away, you won’t be needing them. Gravy: I took the roast out after 10 hours and let it rest for about 30 mins. I mixed cornstarch and water, adding it to the juice in the crockpot. I think I ultimately added about 3 tablespoons before it hit the perfect consistency. Best gravy I have ever had. Not kidding.

I was very happy with the results of this recipe. In another recipe onions and a pound of sliced mushrooms were added at the beginning so I added those as well. I only cooked it for 12 hours and will cook even less the next time. I am looking forward to serving it on brioche buns to those pesky kids who like to drop in Sunday evening! I used low sodium soy sauce and thought it could use a little more salt so I do not know what that sardine guy was talking about.

Excellent recipe. Rave reviews from my family. They loved it. Wouldn’t change a thing.

very good over all, watch the salt level, going by the recipe, the soup mix and soy sauce are VERY salty
