Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 kilo beef roast
  • 1 cup beef broth, fresh or from powder
  • 6 small potaoes, halved
  • 1-2 carrots, cut into chunks
  • 2 packets beefy onion soup mix, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Lightly butter your slow cooker insert, place the vegetables in the bottom. Sprinkle with one packet of onion soup mix.
  • Place the beef on the vegetables, sprinkle with the second packet of soup mix. Pour in the broth around the outside. Really just takes a cup of broth, gets the steam going.
  • Cover and cook on Low setting for 8-10 hours. Check at 8 hours for tenderness. If fork tender, remove and serve, if not tender, continue cooking and checking each hour until tender, for local Thai beef, trust me, 9-10 hours and you will be happy with the results.
  • If you would like to make an Au Jus dipping sauce, say for roast beef sandwiches, remove the beef and vegetables from the slow cooker and add a touch less than 1/4 cup Worcestershire and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the slow cooker juices, mix well and serve in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

The beef would cost about 300 Baht for 1 1/2 kilo. For 6 servings, this is about $1.47 per serving.
