NOTE: Keep in mind that this is beef. It will be naturally higher in fats. However, so many people eat it on a regular basis that I thought it was appropriate to post a healthier version of this dish here.

Ingredients

2-1/2 lb. rump roast
2 tbsp. organic cornstarch (organic to avoid GMO's) or Tapioca starch
10 cloves fresh garlic (yes, 10!)
3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
1 lb tiny potatoes
2 cups beef broth (The Pacific brand is very healthy)
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper

Directions

Pour the beef broth into the slow cooker and whisk in the cornstarch.

Add all other ingredients, turning them over a few times in the pot to distribute the spices.

Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

NOTE: It's important to know your slow cooker. If you've cooked beef in your slow cooker before and it has taken a shorter amount of time, check this sooner. (My slow cooker is old.)
