How To Make A Mouth Watering Beef Roast

Beef roast is perhaps one of the most simple dishes to make for your family any time of the year and takes very little effort to do so. There are just a few steps involved, but when completed, you are left with a great tasting meal that the entire family will enjoy. You can add variation to your preparation steps, toss in different combinations of vegetables, and have fun with it to make your great tasting dish.

The first step to preparing your beef roast is to make sure your beef is properly thawed. You'll want to put the roast in the refrigerator the day before you plan to prepare it to give it ample time to thaw. To get the best results from the cooking process, you'll want to make sure the beef is completely thawed. This will allow the beef to be cooked all the way through without any cold, uncooked spots in the middle.

Next, prepare the roast for placing it in the slow cooker. Remove any strings that may be attached and baste the entire roast with a small amount of olive oil or even your favorite marinade. Try not to overdo it because you want to allow the slow cooking process to do the work in the most natural way possible.

Add a small amount of water to the slow cooker to prevent the roast from sticking to the bottom as a result of excessive contact with the hot surface. Place the roast in the center of the slow cooker and then fill in around it with any vegetables that you might want to add. Potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, and other harder vegetables can all be added at this time. Be sure not to put too many vegetables in the slow cooker, just enough to make a nice base around the roast.

Lightly season the roast with your favorite all purpose seasoning mix or perhaps just salt and pepper and allow the roast to cook for three and a half to four hours on high, and seven to eight hours on a low setting. When there is about 30 to 40 minutes left of the cooking process, add any soft vegetables that you may want to add such as tomatoes or zucchini. When the cooking process is complete, season once more to taste, carve, and serve with the vegetables that you have prepared with the roast.
