Instructions

  • In the bottom of a sprayed or lined slow cooker, place onion and carrots. Season roast liberally with salt and pepper and place on top of onion and carrots.
  • In a bowl, stir together broth, vinegar, garlic, sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over beef.
  • Cook on low 6-8 hours or high 4-6 hours.
  • Remove roast. Slice or shred beef and place on a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions and carrots and place around beef on platter.
