Sear the beef roast on all sides for about 2\u20133 minutes per side until browned. This step is optional but highly recommended.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Assemble in the Slow Cooker<\/h3>\n<p>Place the beef roast in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the meat.<\/p>\n<p>In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour the mixture over the roast.<\/p>\n<p>Top with the sliced mushrooms (and garlic if using).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Slow Cook to Perfection<\/h3>\n<p>Cover and cook:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On LOW for 7\u20138 hours<br \/>\nOR<\/li>\n<li>On HIGH for 4\u20135 hours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The beef is done when it is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Once cooked, gently shred the beef or slice it.
