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.
