Crock Pot Peppery Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Place roast in a slow cooker. Form a pocket in the top of roast and place butter, pepperoncini peppers, ranch dressing mix, and au jus mix in the pocket.
• Cook on Low for 8 hours.

Steps:

• Slice onions and place in slow cooker.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork roast with salt and pepper, then brown on all sides. Place browned roast in slow cooker on top of sliced onions. Add cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf to cooker. Pour can of cola over roast and top with dried fruit. Cover and cook 3 to 4 hours on High setting or 8 to 9 hours on Low, or until thermometer inserted into center of roast registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove roast from slow cooker and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using a slotted spoon, remove onion, fruit and spices. Discard whole spices. Skim grease from sauce. Slice roast and serve topped with onions and fruit and a little sauce.
• Serving Ideas: Delicious over garlic mashed potatoes.

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:

• Mix the cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and oil to make a liquid-y paste and rub on one side of the pork roast. let him hang out for a little while.
• Turn on the broiler and put a stick (aka, not non stick) pan on the element and start heating it up so it gets pretty hot.
• Put the poblano and bell peppers under the broiler, turning occasionally to roast.
• While the peppers are roasting, dice the onion, garlic and sweet potato. the sweet potato should be in pretty big chunks so that it holds up during cooking.
• When the peppers are done roasting, let them cool a little while you brown the roast. put the olive oil in the hot pan and follow up with the roast, unseasoned side down. let that get very nice and caramelized then flip to caramelize the seasoned side (the spices will burn, that's why you should do the unseasoned side first, it cools the pan a little, also, be aware that the seasoned side takes a lot less time).
• Deglaze the pan with a little water and pour the resulting broth into the crock pot.
• Peel the peppers (the skin should just come right off) and cut into big squares (about an inch or so -- well, however you want I guess, just cut them up).
• Throw everything in the crock pot, and cook for about 7 hours on low.
• Bon appetit!

Steps:

• Cut roast in half; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Thicken cooking juices if desired.

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients together and rub all over roast.
• Place beef in slow cooker and add beef stock.
• Mix any left over of the dry ingredients into the stock.
• Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.
• Remove pot roast and either serve with gravy as is, or mix corn flour with cold water to thicken.
