A1 Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
• Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
• Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients until blended.
• Place meat in slow cooker; top with vegetables and sauce. Cover with lid.
• Cook on LOW 8 to 9 hours (or on HIGH 6 to 7 hours).

Steps:

• Into a slow cooker, put the onions, carrots, mushrooms, and potatoes.
• Season the roast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the meat on all sides in oil. When it is browned, put it in the slow cooker on top of the vegetables.
• In a small bowl, stir together the cream of celery soup, onion soup mix, beef broth, and steak sauce. Pour over top of roast. Cover and cook on high setting for 3 to 4 hours or low for 8 to 9 hours.

Steps:

• 1. Mix sauce, soup mix and water together. 2. Place meat in slowcookers, top with veggies and sauce. 3. Cook on low 8-9 hours or on high 6-7 hours.

Steps:

• Place water and three-fourths of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
• Reserve 1 tablespoon onion soup mix. Sprinkle remaining onion soup mix over vegetables; stir gently to coat evenly.
• Sprinkle and rub salt, pepper, thyme over the pot roast. Place pot roast on top of vegetables.
• Place remaining vegetables around pot roast; sprinkle vegetables with remaining onion soup mix. Place lid on slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 8 to 9 hours OR on high for 5 to 6 hours until beef is tender.
• Carefully remove lid to allow steam to escape. Serve food directly from slow cooker.

Steps:

• Season the check roast with the kosher salt, pepper and thyme.
• Heat you pan.
• Add the canola oil and when it ripples and is hot add in the roast and brown, deeply, for 4-5 minutes on each side. ( Less for smaller roast, and I try to also brown edges in addition to sides). Brown to your liking.
• In your slow cooker add the carrots, potatoes, garlic, celery, spices and onion.
• Lay the beef on top, then add the beef broth and cover, cooking on low for 8-10 hours or 5-6 on high. (I think low is much better, more tender).
• In the last hour mix your cornstarch and water and add it to slow cooker to thicken the sauce or you can take the food out when done cooking and add the leftover liquid to a small saucepan with the cornstarch / water mixture and cook on high for just 2- 3 minutes until the liquid is thickened into gravy.
• Pour the gravy over the meat and garnish with parsley if desired.
