Ingredients
2 Carrots, peeled and chopped
2 Parsnip, peeled and chopped
1 Onion, sliced
Handful of Baby Potatoes
1 3lbs Beef Roast
3 Garlic Cloves
Rosemary Springs
Montreal Steak Spice
1 Club House Slow Cookers Pot Roast Seasoning Mix
Directions
Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned, approximately 2–3 minutes per side. This step is optional, but it adds extra flavour to the finished roast.
Place the roast in the slow cooker along with the remaining ingredients from the original recipe. Pour the cooking liquid around the beef, cover and cook on low for approximately 8–10 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
If adding potatoes and carrots, cut them into larger pieces so they hold their shape during the long cooking time.
Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
For a thicker gravy, transfer the cooking juices to a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then gradually whisk into the simmering liquid until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the roast with your favourite vegetables, mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy.
