Description

This Slow Cooker Roast Beef recipe results in a tender and flavorful roast that is perfect for a comforting family dinner or entertaining a crowd. The slow cooking process allows the meat to become incredibly tender and juicy, infused with aromatic herbs and spices.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 pound eye of round beef roast or rump roast if preferred
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasoning:

  • 3 stalks fresh rosemary
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Finishing Touch:

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Rub roast all over with olive oil. Strip rosemary leaves from stalk, then chop. Combine chopped leaves with garlic, sea salt, and pepper.
  2. Rub seasonings around outside of roast to form a crust.
  3. Preheat skillet or multicooker to 400 ℉.
  4. Add roast and sear on each side until lightly browned (4-6 minutes).
  5. Deglaze pan with balsamic vinegar and transfer all contents to slow cooker.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours.
  7. Remove roast from slow cooker and let rest for 15-30 minutes, then slice to serve.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat with a splash of liquid as needed to keep the meat moist.
  • Cook to 145 ℉ for medium or 150 ℉ for medium-well. Keep in mind, for slow cooking, judge doneness more by the tenderness of the meat and cook longer if needed.
  • If the roast is still tough, cook until it is easy to shred (usually around 205 ℉.)
