CROCKPOT ROAST BEEF WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add half the beef and sear until browned on all sides.  Transfer to a plate and repeat with the other half of the beef. Once all the beef is seared, add the beer and deglaze, scraping up all the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 2 minutes, then remove skillet from heat. Into the slow cooker, add a small amount of beef stock (about ¼ cup), then add the bouillon and stir until dissolved. Add the seared beef and all the dripping from the plate, along with the carrots, onions, potatoes, deglazed beer from the skillet, the remaining beef stock, thyme, and onion soup mix. Give it a gentle stir to make sure everything is mixed. Set the slow cooker to low and let cook until beef and veggies are tender, about 8 to 9 hours.  Discard the thyme sprigs and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast with 1 teaspoon of the salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high; add the roast, and cook until browned, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the roast to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Place the carrots, potatoes, and cabbage on and around the roast.
• Stir together the beef stock, vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, garlic, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl, and pour the mixture over the vegetables and roast. Cover and cook on LOW until the roast and vegetables are tender, about 9 hours. Turn off the slow cooker, and remove the roast, reserving the cooking liquid and vegetables in the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker to keep the cooking liquid and the vegetables warm. Let the roast rest 20 minutes; slice the roast across the grain. Remove the cabbage from the slow cooker, and cut the cabbage into slices. Place the cabbage, potatoes, and carrots on a serving platter; top with the sliced meat. Sprinkle with the parsley, and serve with the reserved cooking liquid.
