Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) bag baby carrots
  • 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 lb tiny new potatoes, halved
  • 3 - 3 1/2 lbs beef chuck roast, rinsed and patted dry
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
  • 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet onion soup mix
  • 1 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1/4 cup steak sauce

Method

  • Into a slow cooker, put the onions, carrots, mushrooms and potatoes.
  • Season the roast with salt and pepper.
  • In large skillet over medium high heat, brown the meat on all sides in the oil.
  • When it is nicely browned, put it in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
  • In small bowl, stir together the cream of celery soup, onion soup mix, beef broth and steak sauce.
  • Pour over the top of roast.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Note: This can also be cooked for 3-4 hours on a high setting, but I don't think it comes out as tender.
