Crock Pot Roast Beef A Jus

Roast beef seems like such a complicated dish to make, but if you use the crock pot, it's fairly simple.  To make a great roast with only a little bit of effort, all you have to do is throw the ingredients into the crock pot, add the roast, add water, and wait.  When it's time to eat, the roast is done.

A lot of people like to add carrots and potatoes to their roast recipes, but my family never likes to eat the potatoes and carrots, so I went for a recipe that didn't have all of those extras.  The roast will be really tender when done.  You can either serve the roast beef as is with a couple of nice side dishes, or you can serve the roast beef inside some nice french rolls, dipping the sandwich into the a jus.

I like things simple, and the only thing difficult about this recipe is planning ahead of time!
