Four Ingredient Slow Cooker Pot Roast Recipes

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
• Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray. Spread the onion slices out into the bottom of the cooker.
• Spread the flour out onto a work surface. Sprinkle the chuck roast with salt and black pepper, and roll the roast in the flour to coat all sides. Using the edge of a small, sturdy plate, pound the flour into the meat. Place the floured roast into the cooker on top of the onions. Whisk together beef gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, and Italian dressing mix in a bowl, and whisk the mixes with water until smooth. Pour over the chuck roast. Distribute carrots around the meat.
• Cover the cooker, set to Low, and cook until the roast is tender and the gravy has thickened, about 8 hours.

• Place the wine and the beef broth in the slow cooker and stir in the tomato paste until fairly well blended. Place the roast in the slow cooker, fattier side up, and add the chopped onion on top. Cook on low for 10 hours until the meat is fall apart tender. Remove from the slow cooker and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Slice (it will fall apart as you do - that's a good thing!) and place on a serving platter. Spoon some of the cooking juices with the cooked onion over the top.

Steps:

• Place the roast in a slow cooker that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray (or use a plastic slow-cooker liner) to make cleanup easier.
• Sprinkle the meat lightly with freshly ground black pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together onion soup mix, mushroom soup, and cola until well combined. Pour over the roast.
• Cover and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low, or about 3 to 4 hours on high.
• To make gravy, whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/4 cup of cold water until smooth. Remove the pot roast from the liquids and keep warm. Pour the flour mixture into the liquids, whisking well, and continue cooking on high in the slow cooker-or in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat-until thickened. Serve with the meat.

SLOW COOKER RUMP ROAST

Steps:

• Place the carrots, onion, and garlic in a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker and set aside.
• Pat roast dry with a paper towel, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub all over to adhere.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear 4-6 minutes on each side. Once the entire roast has developed a golden-brown crust, remove it from the heat and transfer to the slow cooker.
• Sprinkle the flour into the meat drippings and whisk. Add the beef broth one big splash at a time, stirring well after each addition. Then, add the red wine and stir. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Pour the gravy over the roast and add the rosemary, if using. Cover and cook for 5-6 hours on high or 8-9 hours on low. Remove the roast from the crockpot, shred it, and return to coat in gravy. Serve and enjoy!
