Melt-In-Your-Mouth Beef (Crock-Pot) Roast

Source: Hannah M.

• 1 raw beef roast
• 1 (32 ounce) container of organic, all-natural beef broth
• 4-5 carrots and celery, cut in large chunks
• 1 onion, cut in thin slices
• 3 tablespoons of Beef Seasoning Mix* per pound of beef

Place roast in Crock-Pot, with the fatty side facing up. Lay veggies around the meat. Cover with broth and let cook for 6-8 hours. The longer it cooks the more tender it will be. About a half-hour prior to serving, mix in beef seasoning and stir well, letting gravy thicken. Serve with noodles or potatoes.

*Beef Stew Seasoning Mix:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons oregano
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder

(1 teaspoons rosemary
1 tablespoons basil
1 tablespoons celery seed) - I didn't add these seasonings, since I didn't have them on hand, but it tasted great anyway!

Measure all ingredients into a large ziploc bag, shake well. Add 3 T. per 2lbs of meat.
