What cut of beef is the most tender for a roast?
Chuck roast – either boneless or bone-in. The boneless roast will be more expensive. The bone-in less expensive, but will have even more flavor from the bone. They are also called Top-Blade or Chuck 7-Bone Roast.
Top Loin, Bottom or Top Round are also good choices. Brisket offers big beefy flavor also.
How do you choose the best beef?
That’s a great question! We don’t eat a whole lot of roasts in our home and because I don’t shop for it very often, I will call my folks often even face-timing my Mom so she can help me pick out good meat – true story! But here’s what I’ve learned.
- when possible choose organic grass-fed beef
- shop from a local butcher or meat market
- a little marbling is good!
Do you have to brown a roast before putting it in the crockpot?
Have you heard the phrase brown food tastes good? Brown equals flavor and if you have the opportunity to brown a roast prior to putting it in the slow cooker great! With this recipe it’s just not necessary! Even better, right?!!!
How long do I cook roast beef in a slow cooker?
- Cook on high for eight hours.
How to make Easy Slow Cooker Roast Beef Recipe

Lynn Charneski
Do you brown the meat first?
Bowl Me Over
Not at all Lynn, it simply gets put into the crockpot!
Carlee
I have the exact same problem. By the time I’m done with work I am hungry and so are my boys. They usually humor me with a few minutes of picture taking, but they rarely turn out quite like I’d like. Good enough is good enough sometimes. I do love the steam in your pictures and the beef looks delicious!

Thanks Carlee! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone, sometimes it’s such a challenge. Sure appreciate you stopping by!

Debra, we are the same over here. Either I take my portion down to my “photo area” – aka the basement and take photos while my family eats or I make them wait while I photograph everything and then they are moody because we’ve got a cold dinner – so sometimes I rush and I post anyway because it’s just too good not to! I’m sure the recipe speaks for it’s deliciousness and that steam photo is pretty cool!
Bowl Me Over
Yes! And with a big piece of protein, it’s expensive to rephotograph just because. Plus of course I’m hungry… 😀
April J Harris
That happens to me sometimes too, Deb – I am trying to be more organised but sometimes I’m just too busy! Love this slow cooker roast beef – it looks so flavourful and tender. Thank you so much for sharing it with us at the Hearth and Soul Hop.

Hey Rebecca – what did you think? Too bad about the cauliflower, but tatters would be delicious also!
Sandy
Trying this one for the first time but I have A question: since I started it late in the ( intended to have the next day), can I set it on low for, say 12 or 16 hours?
Bowl Me Over
Sandy I’m so sorry for the delay in response – we’ve had a family emergency and was out of town. 12 hours would work, I would think you’d be ok at 16, but I’ve never cooked this roast that long.
Sandy
No problem. I hope all is well. As it turns out, 12 hours on low, then keeping warm for a couple hours did not harm the rotary at all!! It was amazing and the entire family loved it (especially my picky eater daughter). Thanks for an awesome recipe.
Bowl Me Over
Fabulous! Thanks for letting me know and I’m so glad your family enjoy it – yay!!!
Lena K
I usually cook the roast salmon on low for 8-9 hrs but I see this recipe says 8 hrs on HIGH. I will try that. Hoping my meat will come out tender not too dry.
Angela Paris
This roast beef looks SO good! Omigosh! It has me craving my grandmother’s roast (which this recipe reminds me of).

Nancy
I would cook a beef roast of course! I actually put one in my slow cooker a few minutes ago.
My version is similar to yours, although I use gravy instead of soup. I put the roast in the slow cooker, season with Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning Salute, add 2 cans or jars of beef gravy, and then add 2 gravy cans filled with water. I put the gravy on top of the roast and pour the additional water around the roast. I cook on High for 8 hours. I think the use of gravy vs. soup makes the roast even more meltingly delicious. Leftovers – if there are any – can be used the next day in a shepherd’s pie.

That sounds delicious Nancy!!!
