Tips

• Use a meat thermometer for best results.
• For tougher cuts (like chuck), cook low and slow covered for a more pot-roast-style roast.
• Make easy gravy with the pan drippings.

If you’d like, I can also give you a slow cooker roast beef, deli-style roast beef, or roast beef with gravy and potatoes version.
