SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

Taking the time to make a smooth, thick gravy for this slow-cooked dinner is worth it. As the pot roast cooks, the water and juices from the vegetables and meat will thin the gravy out, creating just the right consistency.

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
  • Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES



Crock Pot (Slow Cooker) French Dip Roast Beef Sandwiches image

I have another tried and true French Dip recipe and also use another great one here on 'zaar, but when I went to make it the other day, I was lacking all of the ingredients to make either...so the following was born. Turns out everyone liked it better than either of my previous ones, so I figured I better post it for posterity!

Provided by Karen..

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5h15m

Yield 10 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 lbs bottom round beef roast
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix
1 (19 ounce) can progresso French onion soup (not condensed soup)
1 (12 ounce) can beer
3 beef bouillon cubes
1/4-1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
salt
10 kaiser rolls (or your favorite hard rolls)
provolone cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
  • Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
  • Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
  • Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
  • Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
  • Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.

CLASSIC POT ROAST FOR THE SLOW COOKER



Classic Pot Roast for the Slow Cooker image

For a classic pot roast-a tough cut of beef braised until succulent and tender-we start with a well-marbled chuck. Pair it with familiar carrots and potatoes and place in the slow cooker. This recipe comes from Martha's latest book "One Pot: 120+ Easy Meals from Your Skillet, Slow Cooker, Stockpot, and More."

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 5h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and halved
2 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 beef roast (3 pounds), preferably chuck, trimmed of excess fat
4 garlic cloves, mashed to a paste

Steps:

  • In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons broth until smooth. Add remaining broth, tomato paste, potatoes, carrots, onion, and Worcestershire. Season with salt and pepper and toss.
  • Season roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and rub with garlic. Place on top of vegetables. Cover and cook on high until roast is fork-tender, 5 hours (or 8 hours on low).
  • Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; skim fat from pan juices, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Serve roast and vegetables drizzled with juices.

SLOW COOKER AU JUS POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Au Jus Pot Roast image

I've never found a recipe I really liked for a savory, au jus-style pot roast without mushy veggies and a weird sweetness. So after some experimenting, this is the way I make it every time now. The tomato sauce disappears and will not make a tomato-flavored gravy. Quick and easy. The roast size and cut can vary, and it will still turn out great. Good for those who don't like onions, although they can be added if you like. I love to make homemade mashed potatoes and dill carrot slices for sides. Cook roast on top of sliced onion rings if desired.

  • In dutch oven over medium-low heat, saute the finely chopped onion and bacon together until bacon is translucent but not brown, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Into bottom of a 6-quart crock pot or slow cooker, place the beef rump roast.
  • Pour in the (undiluted) can of beef broth and the dill pickle juice.
  • Over the top of the roast evenly spread the mustard and finely chopped dill pickles (or dill pickle relish). Dot with the whole bay leaves and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Top roast with the sauteed onions and bacon.
  • Cover and cook on high for 6-8 hours, or until tender. Remove meat, and strain juices to make gravy (see to make gravy below).
  • TO MAKE GRAVY:.
  • Strain juices from roast through a fine mesh strainer into a sauce pan or dutch oven.
  • Make a slurry in a 2 cup glass measuring cup using a fork to whisk together 1 cup cold water and 1/2 cup flour, until smooth. Pour the slurry all at once into the pan of juices.
  • Using a wire whisk and whisking all the while, bring the gravy mixture to a boil over medium-high; then reduce to a simmer and continue to cook and whisk another 5 minutes (gravy wil thcken more as it cools).
  • P.S. Good sides are green beans (Gruene bohnen), sweet and sour red cabbage (Rotkohl), and boiled or mashed potatoes topped with fresh snipped parsley. Guten appetit!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: chuck roast, rump roast, or round roast are all good options.
  • Sear the beef before braising it: this will help to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pot roast: carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic choices.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your pot roast for extra flavor: thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper are all good options.
  • Cook the pot roast on low heat for at least 8 hours: this will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
