  • Trim all fat from roast.
  • Mix together flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in large plastic bag.
  • Put the roast in the bag and shake it until completely coated in flour, then brown all sides in large skillet in olive oil.
  • While the meat is browning, add your onion slices to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Put roast on top of onions, then pour beef broth and soup over top. (If you want to add carrots or potatoes, you could also put those on top.)
  • Cook 9 hours on low heat in slow cooker. Serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, and (of course!) gravy.
  • Gravy Directions:
  • Remove 2 cups of the broth and place in saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add bouillon and stir until it's completely mixed in to the broth.
