Roast And Potatoes In Crock Pot
Ingredients:
- 3 pounds of beef roast
- 6 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Chop the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery into bite-sized pieces.
2. Season the beef roast with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Rub the spices into the meat, ensuring it is evenly coated.
3. Place the seasoned roast into the crock pot, followed by the chopped vegetables.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables in the crock pot.
5. Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours. The roast and potatoes should be tender and easily fall apart when done.
6. Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the sliced roast with the cooked vegetables and drizzle some of the flavorful cooking liquid over the top.
