COMPANY CROCK POT ROAST
Browning the ingredients adds a depth of flavour that is rare in a slow cooker recipe, and makes it truly company worthy. But, if time rushed in the morning, you can skip it.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
- 3 lb (1.5 kg) beef cross-rib, blade or rump roast Montreal steak spice Salt
- 1 1/2 lb (750 g) small carrots, scrubbed and trimmed
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced
- 2 cups (500 mL) beef broth
- 1 cup (250 mL) red wine such as Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) each Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce
Method:
- Add oil to a large skillet and set over medium-high heat.
- Season roast liberally with steak spice and salt. Brown all over in skillet. Transfer to slow cooker. Add carrots to skillet; brown all over and transfer to slow cooker. Add onion and sauté until golden; transfer to slow cooker.
- Whisk broth with red wine, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over slow cooker mixture.
- Cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours or until meat is fall-apart tender. Remove beef to a board and slice thickly. Arrange on a platter. Use a slotted spoon to arrange vegetables around the beef.
Yields: 6-8 Servings
PAIR WITH: SELECTION AUSTRALIAN SHIRAZ
Tip: Serve with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
To make gravy, strain and measure out 2 cups (500 mL) of the cooking liquid. Combine with a slurry of 2 tbsp (30 mL) each cornstarch and water. Cook in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, stirring often for 5 minutes or until thickened.
Add other root vegetables such as Yukon gold potatoes, rutabaga or parsnips along with or instead of the carrots.
