Anyone ever try this? I'm wanting to do something different. Make a "pot roast" in the Crock Pot using filet mignon or ribeye instead of beef chuck roast.
With the price of beef at the moment I can't think of a cut I'd subject to a crockpot. I don't like any meat cooked in a crockpot. A wet stringy mess IMO.
HEB actually puts meats on sale here really cheap. Trying to come up with some new ideas. I work really long days M-F, so coming home late every night,Crock Pot meals are just easy and convenient. I sometimes make filets in the oven for tacos (I'm not a big ground meat fan).

If you don't want to use chuck, then why not one of these other cuts mentioned here?
I've had filet mignon all sorts of ways. In sous vide it was incredible but kind of a waste because it just makes a really tender cut melt in my mouth. Funny thing about sous vide, cooking a choice or select tri-tip makes it taste like a prime tri-tip. Cooking a prime tri-tip in sous vide makes it taste like a prime tri-tip.
Well,the only chuck steaks the store had were HUGE and I'll never eat all of that. My girlfriend doesn't eat beef,so I just need to basically feed myself. I got a thick huge ribeye for almost nothing (HEB always has good meat sales),so I bought it with some carrots and potatoes,and will give it a go!

Honestly it will be absolutely delicious succulent and rich beef flavor and the broth will also be good to sip on. I myself hate a crockpot and would use a old school black roasting pan in oven 325 till fork tender I believe any roast gets more complex deep richer flavor in the pan.

In the crock pot I buy the scraps (stew meat or carne picate meat) and it turns out great. Expensive cuts are for the grill. Of course if your one of the 1%ers....

We often cut steaks in half and freeze half. We get 2 meals out of a steak and as a bonus cut down on how much meat we eat.
The other thing we do is slice (cold) left over steak for sandwiches. We slice it at a shallow angle to make larger slices. Cold steak makes delicious sandwiches.
