Step 2In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all purpose flour with one can of condensed beef consomme, whisking until no lumps remain; add and whisk in one can of condensed french onion soup. Set aside.

Step 3Place roast in slow cooker; season the roast on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoky truffle seasoning. Set slow cooker to high heat.
