Crockpot Roast Beef and Vegetables
Crockpot Roast Beef and Vegetables is one of those meals that instantly transports me back to my childhood. Even before the days of slow cookers, my grandmother and mother would roast vegetables and meat it in the oven. I loved coming in from church on a Sunday to the smell of fragrant meat, carrots and potatoes. Of course you can still use the oven for this recipe, but it requires the oven being on for hours and heating up the house. Plus it’s so easy to just toss all the ingredients into the Crockpot and let it slowly cook all day. Dinner is ready with minimal effort and it’s always a crowd pleaser! The recipe that I have mostly used for cooking a roast over the years was simply sprinkling salt and pepper and a packet of Lipton Onion Soup mix over the roast and cut-up vegetables. But I recently tried a version by my friend, Liz Edmunds, also known as the Food Nanny I loved the extra flavors of brown sugar, soy sauce, and the cider vinegar. So yummy!
Tips for Cooking Meat in the Crockpot
Bring the meat to room temperature. Take it out of the fridge and let it relax a little before searing.Always sear the outside of your meat in oil on the stove top before putting it into the Crockpot. This keeps juices locked inside the meat while it’s cooking, plus it creates a delicious crust on the outside. It really is the best way to get that tender, fall apart beef that tastes so yummy.For tantalizing fall-apart meat remember these two words: LOW and SLOW. Simmering at a lower heat for a longer period of time will give even tougher types of meat that tender texture your family will die over! The crockpot is ideal for this.Make sure your meat never gets dry in the crockpot. Keep it covered in its natural juices and beef broth for maximum juicy tenderness.
Best Roast Cuts for the Crockpot
Choosing a cut of meat can seem confusing, but it doesn’t have to be. With the low and slow method, most any cut can be cooked to tender perfection. Here are a few options to look for at the grocery store:
