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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Transfer the seared roast to the crock pot.

Step 4

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the roast, ensuring the liquid evenly surrounds the meat.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion, carrot chunks, and potato chunks around the roast in the crock pot.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve with the cooked vegetables and freshly made gravy.
