This is sooo good and easy. The first day we have French Dip sandwiches on crusty rolls, dipped in the broth. We then use the left over meat for hash or wrapped in flour tortillas. The left over broth gets saved in the freezer for recipes calling for beef broth. This makes a wonderful base recipe to make any type of beef soup. I have used this recipe for chicken also and it turns out delicious.

This is one of the best roasts I have ever had! I halved the recipe, and it turned out great.

This was an awesome recipe!!! My husband does not like beef very much and he said he loved this recipe. It is SO flavorful! I made hot beef sandwiches and saved the rest in the freezer!! Surprised there were any leftovers to save Absolutely love the coffee filter idea. Genious!! It gave me an idea to make a few (packs) ahead of time with my bulk seasoning from Costco! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!!!

I can't believe this hasn't been given a 5 star review yet. This was soooo yummy! I served this on homemade rolls and reduced the broth for dipping, and everyone raved. I didn't have any bay leaves (thought I did), so I left them out, but I loved the rosemary aroma - not too strong, but definitely present. And I loved the coffee filter idea. My parents came over to babysit, and it's a good thing I hid away a pound of the cooked meat for the freezer, otherwise my Dad would have finished it off! Now I am dreaming of machaca or shredded beef burritos . . . Great recipe, thanks a bunch. I will definitely be making this often!
