My mom found this recipe in a farm journal soon after she and my dad got married. The tender beef has been a family favorite for years, and my dad often requests it. —Danielle Brandt, Ruthton, Minnesota

I came across this recipe out of a need to not have to buy a packet of seasoning knowing it must not be to complicated to make my own "french dip" sandwiches. I am pleased with the flavor of this and will definately call it my new standard. I also added sliced onions and used garlic powder and a little salt since i was out of garlic salt. Thanks for publishing this one!!

i liked the flavoring in this dish, plus the ease of making. used sandwich rolls instead to make nice french dips.

Just need to cook long enough to shred. Very good flavor.

Maybe I should go "punch" the butcher . . . .I followed the directions, cooked it in the slow cooker but no way could I shred it with two forks. Flavor is good, I sliced it so not a total loss, just a disappointment in not having it shredded.

Would cut the salt mostly and then add some beef broth instead of water, it is delish!!!! Jan

Not one of the better slow cooker recipes I've tried. After reading the reviews, I deleted the salts altogether, and used a whole clove of garlic. I also replaced the water and beef bouillon granules with beef broth. Maybe that's what I did wrong -- the dish was very bland. Both DH and I were disappointed.
