Steps:
- *prep time does not include time in frig to marinate, which is optional*.
- In a small bowl, combine onion soup mix, garlic powder, and Accent into one uniform dry mixture.
- Rinse roast with water and pat dry. Rub all surfaces of the meat with the dry spice mixture.
- Stab the spice mixture into the beef using a penetrating meat tenderizer tool or the tines of a fork, puncturing many times over all surfaces of the meat. This step is important. Use any remaining dry spice mixture to rub over the meat again.
- Wrap the meat tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. (optional -- you can skip this step and put it right in the slow cooker if you want, and it will still taste fantastic).
- Slice the onion into thin slivers. Put 1/3 of the onion slivers into the bottom of a slow cooker or crock pot.
- Place the seasoned beef on top of the onions, in the center of the slow cooker.
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into large chunks and put into slow cooker along with the carrots and remainder of the onion. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
- Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water and pour over the vegetables, surrounding the meat(you want about 2 or 3 inches of water in the bottom of the slow cooker- this will make a great tasting 'au jus').
- Cook on medium high heat in slow cooker for first two hours, then reduce heat to low-medium for an additional three hours. 5 hours cooking time usually does the trick for me, but 6 hours is fine too!
- **Key: If it ain't fallin' apart, it's not ready yet! You should not even be able to slice this -- the servings are literally pulled apart with a fork straight to the plate.**.
- Serving suggestion: I like to do a quick mash of the potatoes with my fork after I get the potato chunks on my plate and add butter or margarine to taste, then spoon some of that good liquid from the slow cooker over the top! It's out of this world.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for slow cooker beef roast.
- Brown the beef before cooking: This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a flavorful liquid: Beef broth, red wine, or even water can be used as the liquid for your roast. You can also add herbs, spices, and vegetables to the liquid for extra flavor.
- Cook the roast on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart.
- Add vegetables towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Let the roast rest before serving: This will help the meat to retain its juices.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker beef roast is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
