Ingredients

• 3 lbs Eye of round roast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large Onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Season the eye of round roast evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Transfer the seared roast to the slow cooker.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast in the slow cooker.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion on top of the roast.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the roast is tender.

Step 7

Once the roast is done, transfer it to a cutting board and loosely tent with foil to rest.

Step 8

To prepare the gravy, strain the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan, discarding the solids.

Step 9

Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry.

Step 10

Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering liquid. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve with the gravy poured on top.
