Herb Roast Beef (Slow Cooker) image

I was surprised to see so many "crock pot" recipes out there that call for soup mixes and other processed ingredients. What ever happened to a good old fashioned slow cooked roast!? Here's my contribution. Onions are essential as they basically create a stock/gravy which is used to flavour the meat and the liquid can be reduced to create a delicious jus or gravy to serve over the meat.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 4h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 1/2 kg) topside beef roast (approx)
2 brown onions, chopped roughly
1 brown onion, diced very finely
7 -8 garlic cloves, smashed
salt, to taste
2 cups water
handful fresh thyme sprig, chopped
3 -4 fresh rosemary sprigs, chopped
handful fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Reserve 1 unchopped rosemary sprig and several garlic cloves. (You will use this garlic and rosemary to poke into the meat to add extra flavour).
  • Put all other ingredients except the meat in the slow cooker on high. Put lid on to allow mixture to warm in the slow cooker.
  • Meanwhile, braise the meat on all sides in a separate frying pan using a spoonful of oil, until meat is lightly browned. This step is designed to seal in the juices as topside meat is usually quite dry. Braising should take around 5 minutes.
  • Once braised, gently set meat on top of onion mixture in slow cooker.
  • Poke reserved garlic and rosemary into folds in meat and leave to cook.
  • Roast 4-5 hours on high until meat is tender and falling apart. Cook time wil depend on size of roast.
  • Serve with your favourite roasted vegetables.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw everything in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home.

I was skeptical about cooking a roast in a slow cooker, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beef was cooked evenly and the herbs added a wonderful flavor.
