Thinly sliced Roast Beef! One of our family favorites

Updated version 12/19/2022

***I used a bottom round beef roast and placed in crockpot.  Added 1 package onion soup mix and water.  Note:  No searing this time.

Cook high 4 hours.

  I also strained liquid and made gravy on top of stove.

Approximately 2 cups room temperature strained liquid in a medium pot.  

 I Add water to make 

the 2 cups if there isn’t enough of drippings.

  Whisk approximately 3 T flour into warm liquid and heat on medium until it thickens.

Perfect!

Crockpot recipe of roast below.

2 1/2 lb. Eye round roast.

1 package onion soup mix

1  1/2 cups warm water.

Mix onion soup mix with warm water.  Set aside.

Sear roast in oil on all sides.  Place in crockpot.  Add onion soup mixture. 

Cover and cook on low approximately 3 hours or until meat thermometer registers beef. Allow to rest 10 minutes and slice.

Strain drippings.  Add to sliced beef.

This recipe would make awesome warm beef sandwiches (crusty rolls) or thicken juice for gravy or serve with yummy juice and sides.

A good choice for a family dinner and nothing makes slicing easier than an electric knife! If you like your roasts sliced thin this is the way to go and it makes a great gift.  I love mine!

  I love my electric knife!  How many can say that?  If you don't have one it is a must!

For those of us who can't seem to get that roast cut thin enough this is a must have tool.  I have had mine for years and from Biscotti to Roasts this tool works wonders and slices perfectly. 

Slice thin

**3 # or more bottom round or eye round roast.  I usually use eye of round.

Brown roast  in oil on top of stove with a few T of oil  adding pinch of salt and pepper and onion powder.

After you have seared/browned your roast, add broth, cover and bake in  350 degree oven for approx. 2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reaches desired temperature.  Remove from oven . Take roast from pan and cool slightly. It will slice better when it has rested a bit.

 ** Gravy: In the pan that has the drippings, skim any fat and add enough cold water to equal 2 cups. (if you have more drippings you will have to adjust flour amount). Whisk together while adding 5 T. Wondra quick mixing flour.  Place on medium heat and stir constantly until thickened and bring to a boil for approx. 1 minute.

Crockpot easy!  Follow recipe above).  Place roast in a crockpot after seasoning, add broth/stock and depending on how long you will be out either set on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6+ hours.

Remove from crockpot, thinly slice and serve Au jus with sides of choice.
