Crock Pot Beef Roast Recipes With Carrots And Potatoes

SLOW COOKER BEEF ROAST WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• In a 6 quart slow cooker, add onion, carrots, potatoes, garlic, and beef broth.
• In a bowl, combine dijon mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Brush mustard paste on all sides of beef roast and place in slow cooker on top of vegetables.
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 5-6 hours), or until beef roast is tender. This will depend on the size and shape of the roast you're using.
• Optionally, whisk together cornstarch and 1-2 tablespoons of water. Remove roast from slow cooker and add the cornstarch mixture to the beef broth, stirring to thicken into a gravy.

CROCK-POT BEEF ROAST

Steps:

• Put potatoes, carrots and onion on bottom of crockpot.
• Place the roast on top, fat side up.
• Pour in water or beef broth.
• Sprinkle chives, parsley, pepper and Onion Soup mix over the meat.
• Pour Worcestershire sauce and mushroom soup over meat.
• Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
• **Note: If your roast is frozen, start it on low the night before with just the water or broth. Add the rest of the ingredients the next morning and cook until dinnertime! If done this way, you can easily remove the fat layer in the morning before adding the other ingredients.

EASY SLOW COOKER ROAST BEEF

Steps:

• Generously season a 3 lb. chuck roast on all sides with salt and pepper. In a large pan over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter and add 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil. Once the butter is melted add the roast and sear golden-brown on all sides. Transfer to large slow cooker, keep the pan hot.
• Dice 1 large yellow onion and add to the pan along with 1 Tbsp. garlic powder. Cook, stirring, until golden, then add 2 Tbsp. tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Transfer to the slow cooker, keep the pan hot.
• Add 1 cup dry red wine to the pan. Scrape up any brown bits from the bottom and stir them into the wine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce reduces by half. Pour into the cooker with roast and onions.
• Chop 4 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and 1-2 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes. Add with 1 Tbsp. dried thyme, ½ Tbsp. dried rosemary, and 2 bay leaves to the slow cooker. Then, pour in 3 cups beef stock.
• Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until beef and vegetables are tender.During the last hour of cooking, add 2 Tbsp. cornstarch to a small bowl and mix with ¼ cup of the liquid from the slow cooker. Whisk until combined, then pour back into the slow cooker and stir to mix.
• Taste the broth, then season with salt and pepper as necessary. Remove the chuck roast when done and shred with two forks. Discard bay leaves and sprinkle the roast with fresh parsley (if using). Serve warm, and enjoy!

SLOW-COOKER BEEF ROAST WITH ONIONS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, place onion. If beef roast comes in netting or is tied, remove netting or strings. Place beef on onion. Place potatoes and garlic around beef. In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the broth and the dry soup mix; pour over beef. (Refrigerate remaining broth.)
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 9 to 10 hours.
• Remove beef and vegetables from cooker; place on serving platter. Cover to keep warm.
• In small bowl, mix remaining 1/2 cup broth and the flour; gradually stir into juices in cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened. Serve sauce over beef and vegetables.

FALLIN' TO PIECES POT ROAST WITH CARROTS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• *prep time does not include time in frig to marinate, which is optional*.
• In a small bowl, combine onion soup mix, garlic powder, and Accent into one uniform dry mixture.
• Rinse roast with water and pat dry. Rub all surfaces of the meat with the dry spice mixture.
• Stab the spice mixture into the beef using a penetrating meat tenderizer tool or the tines of a fork, puncturing many times over all surfaces of the meat. This step is important. Use any remaining dry spice mixture to rub over the meat again.
• Wrap the meat tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. (optional -- you can skip this step and put it right in the slow cooker if you want, and it will still taste fantastic).
• Slice the onion into thin slivers. Put 1/3 of the onion slivers into the bottom of a slow cooker or crock pot.
• Place the seasoned beef on top of the onions, in the center of the slow cooker.
• Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into large chunks and put into slow cooker along with the carrots and remainder of the onion. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
• Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water and pour over the vegetables, surrounding the meat(you want about 2 or 3 inches of water in the bottom of the slow cooker- this will make a great tasting 'au jus').
• Cook on medium high heat in slow cooker for first two hours, then reduce heat to low-medium for an additional three hours. 5 hours cooking time usually does the trick for me, but 6 hours is fine too!
• **Key: If it ain't fallin' apart, it's not ready yet! You should not even be able to slice this -- the servings are literally pulled apart with a fork straight to the plate.**.
• Serving suggestion: I like to do a quick mash of the potatoes with my fork after I get the potato chunks on my plate and add butter or margarine to taste, then spoon some of that good liquid from the slow cooker over the top! It's out of this world.
