I am a HUGE fan of using my slow cooker (crockpot)! What’s better than putting a meal into one pot, turning it on, and letting it cook itself? I also enjoy the smell of something simmering away for hours! Let me tell you, this recipe smells GOOD! We are fortunate enough to get grass-fed beef from my in-laws who have a cattle farm and our freezer just happens to be filled with roasts right now. So, this means that I make at least one per week. This method of easy slow cooker roast beef is the most common method that I use because its seriously so so easy! You can even make it with a still-frozen roast straight from the freezer!
Ingredients:
- 1 beef roast
- 2 Tbsp onion soup mix — here is my homemade onion soup recipe
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar — we use this kind (it tenderizes the meat, especially useful with grass-fed meats!)
- filtered water
Directions:
- Place your roast in a slow cooker (like this), yes you can use a frozen roast if you don’t have time to thaw one out (pictured below)
- Fill half way with filtered water
- Add in soup mix and vinegar
- Turn on high for one hour, then turn down to low and leave to cook until you can fork it apart. Depending on the meat I have cooked it anywhere from 8-24 hours! Yes 24 hours, it was SO tender! Throw this in the crockpot and leave it cooking away all day while you are at work

Why can’t I print your recipes?
There is a green print button at the top of the post
Just checked in both Chrome and Internet Explorer and there’s no print button. The only green button shown is to email the recipe.
Hmm, it might be a broken plug in. i will look into it. Thank you and so sorry about that!
