One of my favorite dinners to make for my family is roast beef. It’s so easy and this is for sure the best roast beef recipe because it’s so simple. I love using my slow cooker for this recipe as well, it takes almost all of the work out of it!

I use a little bit different seasonings every time I make this. The great thing about making pot roast is that you can switch it up each time! There are no hard and fast rules.

The kind of roast you use is going to matter. Chuck roast works best for perfect pot roast, but I also use sirloin tip roasts frequently because we have a bunch in our freezer. Either will work well for this recipe because they hold up to a long cooking time and get more tender the longer they cook.

When you’re choosing a roast to use in this roast beef recipe, choose one that is about 4 pounds and that has good marbling. Marbling means there are a lot of white flecks of fat throughout the meat.

This will give you a really tender roast beef that will just fall apart by the time it’s done. You can see I sliced mine for the photos, but it’s so tender you can easily cut it with a fork.

There are just a few simple steps you’ll need to follow to end up with the perfect roast beef. Here they are!

Use a slow cooker or slow cook the roast in the oven.
Sear the roast on all sides, it’s worth the extra work!
Lay the roast on top of the vegetables, like a bed.
Don’t add too much water all at once. you want to be able to make a nice gravy from the drippings
Save some of the liquid in the slow cooker to drizzle over the roast beef just before serving.

Roast Beef Seasoning

Roast beef is easy to season. It can handle some stronger flavors so I like to keep the flavors simple yet strong. Here are a few of my favorite combinations.

Rosemary, thyme, and basil.
Sage, thyme, red pepper flakes.
Bay leaf, oregano, and rosemary.

Roast Beef Recipe for the Oven

If you’d like to make this perfect roast beef recipe in the oven, you’ll need a large dutch oven that can fit the roast in flat. Simply layer the vegetables and then roast as you would in the slow cooker.

Slow roast in the oven at 275ºF for 3-5 hours, depending on the size of the roast. You will know it’s done when the meat is falling apart, just like it would in the slow cooker.
