How do I keep beef from drying out in a slow cooker?

I made a hunk of beef last night in the slow cooker, with some seasonings, carrots, celery, and onions, all according to a recipe I found. But after cooking it on low for 8 hours, it was incredibly dry. What went wrong, and how do I fix it for the future?

8 hours? Really

@marcusaurelius That's what the recipe said to do. 8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high.
