Recipe Tips
For the best results, you should use a good quality beef roast for this recipe. If you’re in a hurry, you can cook the roast on high heat for a shorter amount of time, but the low and slow cooking will give you the best flavor and tenderness.
You can also add other vegetables to the slow cooker, such as potatoes, carrots, and celery. Just add them around the roast and they will cook in the beef broth.
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.
