SLOW COOKING BEEF ROAST 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:

• Peel and dice your celery, carrots, and onion.
• Place the onion, salt, pepper, thyme, and olive oil in your slow cooker and brown your topside on both sides and top and bottom until you have a wonderful brown colour on your topside.
• Remove the topside from the slow cooker and add in carrots, celery, and stock. Stir.
• Add the topside over the vegetables and place the lid on your slow cooker. Cook for four hours on high and then allow to cool for a further hour in the slow cooker to allow it be even more tender.
• Remove the beef and blend the contents of the slow cooker using a hand blender. Taste it and add extra salt if needed.
• Carve your roast beef.
• Serve together your slow cooker roast beef and gravy with your preferred sides.
