  • Heat oil in big pot and brown roast on both sides at a high temperature.

  • Sprinkle onion over roast. Add beef bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.

  • Pour h2o around edge of pan. Embrace and cook at 300 degrees for 3 hours. Check one time or twice to make sure in that location is enough water. (Corporeality of h2o needed tin vary greatly according to the type of pan you employ.)

  • When roast is fork-tender and falling autonomously, remove from the pan and brand gravy with the drippings.

  • Optional: Add quartered, peeled potatoes and whole baby carrots the terminal hr.

Cook on medium-low until thickened. Using milk instead of water will brand a lighter-colored gravy with a slightly richer taste.

Make this in the tiresome cooker if you prefer. Follow directions through step 3. Put roast in your slow cooker. Cook for 8-x hours on SLOW.
