This hearty roast practically cooks itself. Just do a little garlic prep work and pop it in the crock pot! Choose an inexpensive roast -- the crock pot will make it tender and juicy.
2 lb. beef roast
1/2 garlic bulb, sectioned into cloves and peeled
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. rosemary leaves, crushed
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 c. red wine
To prepare the roast, use a sharp knife to create deep slits about 2 inches into the meat. Push individual cloves of garlic into each of the slits. Continue the procedure -- placing the cloves evenly around the roast -- until all of the garlic is used.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, rosemary and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the beef roast. Place the roast on a roasting rack in the bottom of a crock pot. Carefully pour the red wine into the bottom of the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and turn to the LOW setting (#3 on some models). Cook for 7-9 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Reserve half of the roast for the following recipes. Slice the remaining roast across the grain into thin slices.
Using the leftover beef roast makes the filling for these hearty pot pies fantastic. Use half of the filling in the pot pies and the other half as the base for the soup recipe that follows.
