Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 2 ¼ lb beef rump roast (2 ¼ – 3 pounds)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp granulated garlic
Vegetables
- 1 lb petite baby gold potatoes (whole unless large; halve or quarter)
- 1 lb baby carrots
- 1 cup yellow onion, sliced (about one small onion)
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
Liquids and Flavorings
- 1 cup Jack Daniels whiskey
- 2 packets beefy onion Lipton soup mix
- 22.6 oz cream of mushroom soup (or two 10.5 oz cans, regular, low sodium, or no sodium)
Instructions
- Season the Roast: Season the beef rump roast on all sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic. Place it in the center of your crock pot to prepare for slow cooking.
- Add Potatoes and Carrots: Arrange the baby gold potatoes and baby carrots around the roast, placing them at the bottom of the crock pot to cook alongside the meat.
- Add Onions and Mushrooms: Layer the sliced yellow onions and mushrooms over and around the roast and vegetables for added flavor.
- Pour in Whiskey: Carefully pour the full cup of Jack Daniels whiskey over the roast and vegetables to infuse the dish with a distinctive, smoky sweetness.
- Sprinkle Soup Mix: Evenly sprinkle both packets of beefy onion Lipton soup mix over all the ingredients in the crock pot for depth of flavor.
- Add Cream of Mushroom: Spoon the cream of mushroom soup as evenly as possible over the entire dish to create a creamy and rich sauce during cooking.
- Slow Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and vegetables to soften.
- Rest the Meat: When done, carefully remove the roast and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding or slicing to retain juiciness.
- Remove Vegetables: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a separate bowl, trying to leave behind as much liquid as possible.
- Make Gravy: Whisk the remaining sauce in the crock pot to blend all ingredients fully, forming a smooth, flavorful gravy.
- Serve: Return the roast and vegetables to the crock pot to keep warm or arrange them on a serving platter. Serve the gravy on the side in a gravy boat for pouring at the table.
Notes
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, you can simmer the sauce on the stove for a few minutes and add a cornstarch slurry (mix of cornstarch and water) to thicken.
- For a lower sodium version, opt for low or no sodium cream of mushroom soup and seasoning mixes.
- The size of the roast can be adjusted based on your crock pot size; cooking times may vary slightly.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
- Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary at the start can enhance the flavor profile.
