How to Make Beef Roast Au Jus

1. Trim excess fat from a 3-4 pound rump roast and brown all sides in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large oven-safe skillet.
2. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the entire roast.
3. Transfer the browned roast to a slow cooker. Add 1/2 cup beef broth and 1 tablespoon minced garlic to the slow cooker.
4. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender. For an even richer flavor, cook on low for 10-12 hours.
5. Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
6. Strain the cooking liquid (au jus) through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
7. Slice the beef thinly against the grain. Serve the beef slices with the strained au jus for dipping.
