I've been making this recipe for 2 years now. HUGE hit with my hubby, and even for my picky nieces and nephew! This time, I added a couple teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and about a teaspoon of worcestershire just for a little more kick. YUM! Also, have done it with flavored beer (like, pumpkin spice, or octoberfest, or something), and it amps-up the flavor that much more.We've omitted the flour gravy, because it was too heavy. Just blend the onions with some of the gravy in a magic bullet or food processor. It makes it quite thick enough.Serve with garlic mashed potatoes the first night, then use rice the next night, so that all the broth is put to good use.YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!!!

I have not made this though i think I will try. Having lived in Germany I was surprised the recipe didnt call for any vinegar...But then I realized maybe it's just saurbraten and German Potatoe Salad that include the vinegar

This is delish! I love the suggestion and recipes for using up the leftover meat. Two nights of dinners that come together quickly- I love it!

We tried variations of it twice in the same weekend and loved it both times.

If I made this again I'd cut the amount of beer in half, it was a little too over powering but the roast turned out nice and moist.

OMG-this was the best thing I have ever made in the crock pot. My whole family loved it, and even my 9 year old daughter asked for more. I told my husband, if I should ever be asked what I want for my last meal, this would be it. Made it with mashed potatoes and green beans. YUM!

I just have a question: "Why does the roast have to be cut in half?"

I subbed ginger ale for the beer. Probably a little sweeter gravy that way but still very good.
