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?

Why? Never get the concept of those machines.

It's helpful for cooking things over a long period of time? Good for those of us that start it in the morning and have it finished when we get home from work.
