This is pretty good! I made a couple of minor substitutions: I don't have beef bouillion because I usually have beef stock on hand, so I used the stock instead of the water and bouillion. If I were to use bouillion, I would leave out the 2-1/2 tsp salt. I seared the beef in a skillet on high heat, then deglazed the pan with a little red wine, putting that in the crockpot, too. I added garlic and used fresh herbs. The Beau had 3 helpings!
