Red Wine And Garlic Slow Cooker Roast Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and stir onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Combine onion mixture, hot water, and chicken bouillon in a bowl.
• Place roast is same skillet used for onion mixture; cook over medium heat until roast is browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Place roast in a slow cooker and drizzle olive oil over top of roast. Arrange potatoes and carrots around roast. Pour broth mixture over roast; add butter, bay leaves, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Pour wine over entire mixture.
• Cook on High for 4 to 5 hours. Change setting to Low and cook for 2 to 3 hours more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Marinate beef in wine in resealable plastic bag in refrigerator up to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Drain beef; reserve marinade. Pat beef dry. Heat slow cooker to high. Add consomme, onions and mushrooms.
• Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat 3-5 minutes or until browned. Drain on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Add bacon to slow cooker.
• Combine flour, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder in large bag. Add beef; shake to coat. Remove beef; reserve flour mixture.
• Cook beef in bacon drippings in batches over medium-high heat 3-5 minutes until browned on all sides. Place in slow cooker.
• Add reserved flour mixture to drippings in skillet; cook and stir over medium heat 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the reserved marinade; bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Pour into slow cooker.
• Add remaining marinade and thyme to slow cooker. Cook over low heat 7-9 hours or until beef is tender. Remove beef and vegetables. Pour liquid into large skillet; boil over high heat 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over beef and vegetables.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the slow cooker on high.
• Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, and fry the bacon and garlic gently for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the beef and stir over a low heat until lightly browned on all sides.
• Stir in the flour, then slowly add the red wine, stirring until well blended. Add the bay leave, onions and seasoning. Bring to the boil, then transfer to the slow cooker.
• Cook on low for 7-10 hours.
• Discard the bay leave and season to taste.

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion power. Coat your roast with the seasonings.
• Brown the pot roast over medium heat in pan. Brown on all sides (should take 5-7 minutes total). Do not clean your pan yet!
• Add sliced raw onion to bottom of crockpot. Place browned meat into crockpot too.
• In pan you just browned the meat in, add tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, and beef stock. Simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Pour sauce over roast in crock pot. Juice should come partially up the roast but not cover it. As it cooks, the roast will release more juice.
• Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
• Remove roast from crockpot and lightly shred with a fork. Save all the juice from the crockpot to use in your gravy!
• In a pan over medium-low heat, melt butter and whisk in flour. Cook on low for several minutes, whisking continuously until your rue is a golden brown color.
• Deglaze the pan with your red wine. Make sure you continuously whisk!
• Add in your roast juices 1 cup at a time. I typically end up adding about 3 cups of the liquid. Bring gravy to a low simmer and continue whisking. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until desired consistency.
• Top your roast with the gravy and enjoy! I put mine on a toasted ciabatta roll. YUM!

Steps:

• Season the beef generously all over with about 1 heaping tablespoon salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add one chunk of the beef and sear on one side, undisturbed, until deeply browned, 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove the first chunk and place it in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Repeat with the second and third pieces, searing one side and then placing the beef in the slow cooker. (You can certainly brown more than one side of each chunk, but one side is enough to build flavor without spending too much time on this step.)
• Add the pearl onions and garlic to the skillet. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper and cook, stirring, until just softened, 3 minutes. Pour in the red wine, vinegar and 1/2 cup water. Scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon or spatula and let the mixture come to a bubble. Tip the mixture into the slow cooker, and add the herbs. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
• Make the pickled onions, if desired: Bring the vinegar and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over high. Add the pearl onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, to dissolve the sugar and warm the onions through, about 1 minute, then remove from heat. Set aside at room temperature to pickle until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. (Ideally, make the pickled onions in the morning, when you prep the dish. You could even make them up to 5 days ahead and store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator.)
• Uncover the slow cooker, flip the pieces of beef with tongs, and add the root vegetables, pushing them under the liquid. Cover and cook on low until the beef and vegetables are both very tender, an additional 4 to 5 hours. Check to see if the meat is tender by testing it with a fork; it should be juicy and flavorful, and pull apart easily. If the meat is not yet tender, cover and cook another 1 to 2 hours. (The amount of time can depend upon the leanness or fattiness of your cut, or how hot your slow cooker runs.) Using tongs and a slotted spoon, remove the beef and vegetables to a serving platter. Break the beef into large chunks to serve. Drizzle some cooking liquid over the top of the beef and vegetables, and top with drained pickled onions to serve. Discard the remaining cooking liquid or strain it, refrigerate it, discard the fat and freeze the remaining liquid as beef stock.
• If you'd prefer a thicker gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a medium pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, combine the butter and flour in a small bowl and knead it together with your fingers until it is uniform, almost like a dough. Once the liquid is boiling, drop the butter-flour mixture into the pot, whisking well to combine. Let it bubble until it is lightly thickened, about 5 minutes, then drizzle some gravy over the pot roast and vegetables, and top with the drained, pickled onions. Serve extra gravy on the side.

Steps:

• Place roast in crock pot and season with pepper.
• Mix rest of ingredients together and pour over roast.
• Cover and cook on low 6-7 hours.
• Remove roast to rest on platter.
• Turn crock pot to high.
• Whisk cornstarch into juices to thicken.
• This makes a wonderfully tasty au jus, or over mashed potatoes.
• Enjoy!
• You can easily make additions to this: garlic, pearl onions, mushrooms etc.
