Crockpot Pot Roast Using Fond Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place the chuck roast in a 7-quart (6 ½ liters) slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the onion soup pack and top with vegetables and water.
• Cook on low for 8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In slow cooker, stir together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Add carrots and onions; season with salt and pepper, and toss.
• Sprinkle roast with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; place on top of vegetables, and drizzle with Worcestershire. Cover; cook on high, 6 hours (or on low, 10 hours).
• Transfer roast to a cutting board; thinly slice against the grain. Place vegetables in a serving dish; pour pan juices through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Serve roast with vegetables and pan juices.

Steps:

• Chop the onion and the garlic.
• Put the onions and garlic in the crock pot and set the roast on the top.
• Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, rosemary and thyme.
• Pour in the wine.
• Cover and cook on the High setting until the meat is very tender about 5 hours.
• Remove the roast to a serving plate.
• Measure 2 cups of the cooking liquid into a saucepan.
• Stir together the flour and water and stir it into the cooking liquid.
• Bring to a boil, stirring, reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Slice the roast and serve with the gravy.

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.

Steps:

• Chop vegetables into chunks. (Peel the garlic, but leave it whole.).
• Place half of the vegetables in the crock pot.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
• Season the roast on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear each side in the hot pan.
• Place roast in crock pot, then add the rest of the vegetables and the bay leaf.
• Combine broth and wine, and pour inches.
• Cook 8-10 hours on low.
• About 30 minutes before serving, remove excess liquid, leaving enough in the crock to make gravy.
• Combine flour with a small amount of water to make a smooth paste, then stir in some of the liquid from the crock. Pour this mixture back into the crock and cover. Continue to cook until thickened.
• Discard bay leaf and garlic cloves.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the vegetables in the crock pot.
• Place the meat on top of the vegetables.
• Add the other half of the vegetables on top of the meat.
• Add the beef stock and the wine.
• Add the salt and pepper and herbs.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a pan and turn the heat to medium high. Sprinkle the beef with your choice of steak seasoning and garlic. Sear each side. Put the beef in the crockpot and pour beef broth just 2/3 of the way over the beef. (This will depend on the size of your crock pot.) Cook on medium for up to eight hours, if you like your beef to fall apart. Cook for six hours if you like it to stay together. (All of these times vary depending on your specific crock pot.) We often freeze the beef after searing. We've had luck adding the beef to the crock pot still frozen and pouring the beef broth inches When we start frozen, we cook it on high for about six hours and turn it to low when we get back from work. Serve with broth. http://aurorameyer.com/2010/11/18/crockpot-pot-roast/.
