FRENCH ONION POT ROAST (SLOW COOKER RECIPE)

Steps:

• Add carrots, celery and onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
• (Optional) Trim any fat on the sides off of the roast and rinse with water.
• Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Using your fingers, add flour mixture to cover the roast. (My roast this time was taller than I usually get it and it was tied for me. You can tie yours with kitchen twine if you want.)
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large dutch oven on medium to medium high heat for to 4 minutes. Add roast to heated pan and heat to sear for 2 to 4 minutes on each side. (Add more oil if needed and lower heat if necessary.) Use tongs to flip the roast and to hold the roast on its ends and sear for one minute.
• Add the seared beef roast on top of the vegetables. Add french onion soup to the slow cooker. (If using condensed soup, add 1 cup of water to the slow cooker.)
• Cook roast in slow cooker on low for 8 to 9 hours or high for 5 hours.
• Serve with vegetables from the slow cooker and mashed potatoes or noodles.

FRENCH POT ROAST IN SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• 1. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Brown the meat on all sides in the hot oil a deep skillet (or in the Cuisinart 3-in-1 4-Quart Cooker-I set mine at 375° when browning). Transfer the meat to a plate.
• 2. Reduce the heat to medium. If the pan is dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and carrot; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 3 minutes; add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add the wine, beef broth, Balsamic vinegar, and herbes de Provence. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. (If doing this step on the stovetop, pour the liquid into the cooker at this point.).
• 3. Place the browned meat in the cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours OR on high for 5 hours or until the meat is tender.
• 4. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and cover with foil to keep warm. Set the cooker on 375° (or transfer the cooking liquids to a clean saucepan). Work the butter into the flour to form a paste (a beurre manié). Bring the liquid to boil; whisk in the beurre manié bit by bit until sauce is as thick as you like. Serve sauce with meat.
