Slow Cooker Round Steak and Gravy (Recipe 140 of 125)

This was a good recipe...at least what I did with it. Two items I didn't include in this: the allspice (blech) and the ginger (it just felt weird). I also didn't slow cooker it, but put it in the oven at about 300F for 3.5 hours. Turned out great. Super tender beef and the carrots were so soft...Gosh I love them that way.
