Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the beef roast into large chunks.
- Toss the beef chunks with flour until well coated.
- Place carrot sticks in the bottom of the crock-pot.
- Layer the floured beef on top of the carrots, sprinkling one envelope of onion soup mix between layers.
- Pour in the can of tomato soup and add 1/2 cup water.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef chunks in a skillet before adding them to the crock-pot. You can substitute the tomato soup with a can of diced tomatoes for a chunkier texture. If you're short on time, pre-cut carrots or frozen carrot sticks work well. Adjust the seasoning by adding garlic powder or herbs like thyme for added depth, as seen in various Beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef roast with the tender carrots and a side of mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce. It also pairs beautifully with crusty bread or steamed green beans. For a complete meal, consider a fresh salad or roasted vegetables on the side to balance the richness of the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the beef roast in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions, covered, until heated through, usually about 2-3 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like chuck roast or brisket. Just ensure they are well-marbled for tenderness. Each cut may require slightly different cooking times, so check for doneness after 6 hours on low.
Is it possible to cook this on high instead of low?
