Equipment

  • Slow cooker (Crockpot)
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spoon or tongs for stirring

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 lbs rump roast
  • 1.5 lbs yellow baby potatoes halved
  • 1 lb baby carrots
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 onion peeled and quartered
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 3-4 sprigs thyme
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the rump roast in the slow cooker and season both sides with salt and pepper. This step helps bring out the flavor in the meat.
  • Peel and quarter the onion, and then add it to the slow cooker. Toss in the baby potatoes and carrots, arranging them around the roast.
  • Add the rosemary and thyme into the slow cooker. These herbs will infuse the beef and vegetables with their natural flavor.
  • Pour the beef broth over the roast and vegetables. This liquid will keep everything moist and tender as it cooks.
  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. Either setting works well, so you can choose based on your schedule.
  • Once cooked, the beef should be tender and easy to shred. Serve the beef with the vegetables and some of the broth for extra flavor.
