Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.

Trim any fat on the sides off the roast and rinse with water. Pat dry with paper towels. Add flour mixture to cover the roast.

Heat 1-2 Tbsp of oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet on medium to medium high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add roast to heated pan and heat to sear for 2-4 minutes on each side. (Add more oil if needed and lower heat if necessary.)

Add carrots and celery to the bottom of the slow cooker and add roast on top of the vegetables. Add french onion soup and 1/2 to 3/4 can of water to the slow cooker.

Cook roast in slow cooker on low for 10 hours or high for 5 hours.
