Directions

1 Trim excess fat from beef. Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2 Place onions in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker. Place beef on onions.
3 Mix remaining ingredients; pour over beef and onions. Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 10 hours or until beef is tender.
4 Remove beef and onions from cooker, using slotted spoon. Cut beef into slices. Skim fat from beef juices in cooker if desired. Serve beef with juices.

Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer’s directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

This is a very delicious dish and a favorite of mine & my husband. I have found that an Amber Bock beer yields the best flavor. I also only use 3-4 onions depending on the size of the roast. I thicken the juices with cornstarch and it makes a rich gravy. Absolutely one of the best recipes on this site!!!
