1. The meat looks very dry in the picture, would it be better to cook it to temperature?

2. What are those balls between the carrots and the sandwich in the photo?

3. Help! I want to make enough for 8 people but I don't quite get the peppercorn and the beef bouillon measurements. The don't make much sense.

1. This is fantastic! I did use 1/2 tsp. oregano instead of the rosemary, and only 1/2 tsp. of thyme. Next time, I think I may use fresh garlic, just because I like to use it in my cooking. I sliced an onion and laid it in the pot before the meat, as suggested in other reviews - great idea! I served it with provolone cheese on toasted rolls. I'll be making this one again!

2. Oh. My. Goodness. This is a GOOD roast recipe. Like, so good that I kept sneaking little pieces of the beef as I was putting together everyone else's sandwiches. YUM.<br/><br/>We made this and used it for French dip. I made as written, except that I liberally sprinkled the roast with garlic salt first, and I was out of rosemary so I subbed 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning and 1/2 tsp just oregano (thought the balance of flavors would approximate rosemary). The jus by itself was a little too bland for our taste (maybe I added too much water!), so I just ladled some into a saucepan and boiled it for a few minutes to concentrate the flavor.<br/><br/>AMAZING. This will become a staple in our house.

   This was very good! It smelled great and was so tender. I did add onions as others suggested to the top and I was out of garlic powder so I used fresh. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be making this again

5. Thank you for sharing, my family loved it! Once the meat was cooked, it shredded very easy. I skimmed fat off the juice for dipping but heated up my broiler.Opened up my soft hoagie rolls, piled them high w/beef and topped with provolone cheese. Broiled just few minutes to toast bread and melt cheese. It was wonderful! What a great recipe.

1. Added a bed of sliced onions and one smashed garlic clove to the braise. I also added caramelized onion and Swiss cheese when assembling the sandwich.

2. Made this recipe yesterday, with a few changes. Beef broth instead of cube, fresh garlic instead of powder, oregano instead of rosemary. And cooked it on high to get it done sooner. But it was wonderful and will be making this again soon. Thanks to The Big Cheese for the recipe!!!

3. This recipe yielded a very tender cheap cut of meat! I seared my meat in a pan first to enhance the flavor. I also added a bit of garlic. I used reduced sodium soy sauce but still thought it was a bit salty so next time I'd reduce the soy sauce a bit. Also, I used reduced sodium beef broth in place of the bouillon and water. Sure made a yummy and easy dinner on a busy night! Thanks!

4. I'm not a big fan of crock pots, but my kids and I LOVED this recipe! We also added onions, fresh garlic, and instead of peppercorns I used corse black pepper. It was AMAZING! I served it on hamburger buns because that's all I had at the time and thought it would work... next time, ciabatta bread is in order! It needs a sturdy bread to soak up all that juice and not fall apart... but the meat was so wonderful! ~ We also cooked left over juice the next day with a little bit of corn starch to make gravy to make open faced beef sandwiches... SO YUMMY!!! My 3 kids and I ate the whole entire roast in 2 days!!! It was that good!

5. Awesome! I did not have dried Rosemary so I substituted 2 tsp Italian Seasoning for it and the Thyme. So good!
