INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 lb
rump roast trimmed of excess fat
2 cups
water
1 packet
onion soup mix
1
au jus gravy packet
1 lb
baby carrots
1 lb
russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
cornstarch
NOTES
Add roast and water to the slow cooker. Sprinkle in the au jus and onion soup mix packets.
Cover and cook on low. If you want to add the potatoes and carrots let the roast cook for 6 hours and then add the vegetables in for the last 4 hours. If you don’t want potatoes and carrots then just cook on low for 10-12 hours, or until roast is tender.
Remove the lid and place roast and vegetables on a platter.
To make gravy: Turn slow cooker to high. Make a cornstarch slurry in a small bowl. Stir together 2 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsp of cold water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the pot. Whisk. It should thicken the gravy in a few minutes.
