This easy slow cooker beef recipe is so tender it falls apart and melts in your mouth! Plan for leftovers and have rolls or buns, cheese, peppers and onions available for your second meal.
Rinse the roast and pat it dry. Mix salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and brown gravy mix and rub into the roast on all sides.
Optional: You don't have to sear it, but if you want to here is the process. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown roast on all sides; about 3-4 minutes per side.
Place roast in the cooker, pour an entire jar of pepper rings on top. Cover and cook on low 4- 5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low.
Serve the meat smothered in gravy and the pepper rings.
