Step 4: Pour the Mixture Over the Roast

Pour the combined seasoning liquid evenly over the beef.

If you want a full meal in one pot, add:

• Chopped onions
• Carrot chunks
• Potato chunks

These will cook in the savory gravy and come out soft and delicious.

Step 5: Cook Low and Slow

If using a slow cooker:

• Cook on LOW for 8–10 hours
  or
• HIGH for 4–5 hours

If using an oven:

• Cover the Dutch oven with a tight lid
• Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 3–4 hours, until fork-tender

Slow cooking ensures richness, tenderness, and that magical fall-apart texture.

Step 6: Shred or Slice and Serve

When the roast is done, it will shred easily with two forks or slice cleanly while still tender.

Spoon plenty of the gravy over the top and serve with:

• Mashed potatoes
• Buttered noodles
• Rice
• Roasted vegetables
• Fresh bread

The gravy from this roast is rich, salty, savory, and perfect for soaking into sides.

🍽️ Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t add extra salt — the seasoning packets have plenty.
• Use broth instead of water for deeper flavor.
• Add vegetables halfway if you prefer them firmer.
• For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter at the end.

❤️ Why This Recipe Works

The slow cooker breaks down the connective tissue in the beef, and the seasoning packets add layers of flavor without the need to measure spices. The result is:

• Incredible tenderness
• Savory, comforting aroma
• Perfectly seasoned gravy
• Zero effort cooking

It’s a family favorite for a reason — and once you make it, you’ll see why.
