How to Make Warm And Cozy Bottom Round Roast Crock Pot Style

  1. Preheat your crock-pot to low.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
  3. Pat the bottom round roast (approximately 3-4 pounds) dry with paper towels and rub it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Generously coat the roast with the dry spice mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly seasoned.
  5. Place 1 large chopped onion in the bottom of the crock-pot.
  6. Place the seasoned roast on top of the onions.
  7. Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the bottom of the crock-pot around the roast (this helps keep it moist).
  8. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender.
  9. During the last 30-60 minutes of cooking, add 1 sprig of fresh rosemary to the crock-pot for an extra burst of aroma.
  10. Remove the roast from the crock-pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing or shredding.
  11. Skim off excess fat from the cooking juices in the crock-pot.
  12. Make a gravy using the cooking juices: whisk 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into 1/2 cup of the cooking juices until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened. Season with additional pepper to taste.
  13. Slice the roast and serve it with the gravy, alongside roasted potatoes, broccoli, and crusty bread (optional).
