    I prefer a top round, eye round, or other lean cut of beef. I brown the roast on all sides, then put in crockpot with low-sodium beef broth & cut up onion. Cook it on HIGH for about 3 hours, then put in cut up carrots & potatoes & cook for another hour. The veggies are cooked but not overcooked. - 8/1/11

    Wonderful flavor--will definitely make again. I substituted celery root for the rutabaga and doubled the parsnips. Also used a very lean rump roast that turned out very tender. Incredibly good! - 5/24/11

    I make this a little differently. I put chunks of onions on the bottom of a crockpot, set the roast on top sprinkle with garlic salt/pepper, and cook. I don't add liquid or precook. Veggies can be added for the last hour of cooking on high temp. - 7/7/11

    The parsnip and rutabagas can be difficult to locate, but well worth the effort. They add a unique sweetness to the broth that is produced.
    A small yam cut up will completely dissolve and add additional texture and sweetness.
